Diagnostic Sonography Program This program is designed to prepare qualified entry-level sonographers. The principle aim of the program is to provide students with didactic, clinical, and lab experiences that will permit them to develop the competencies required to function effectively in the sonography setting.
Length of the Program 18 months. A new cohort begins every Summer Session II semester and continues until the end of the fall semester the next year.
Structure of the Program Students will have didactic, clinical, or lab experiences 8 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday. Didactic and lab courses are held on campus. Students will rotate through multiple clinical sites located throughout central Indiana.
Opportunity for Students to Work Students may choose to work part-time while in the program. However, it is recommended students not work more than 10-12 hours per week. Working more than this may jeopardize the student’s ability to satisfactorily maintain program academic standards. Other employment responsibilities of the working student will not excuse the student from attendance of all academic, lab, and clinical rotation experiences.
Additional Cost In addition to regular university tuition and fees, students should expect to pay for program-related expenses such as books, uniforms, etc. Consult the HPP website advising section for a current cost sheet.
Program Facilities The Diagnostic Sonography Program is offered in Indianapolis at the Indiana University Medical Center. The offices, classrooms, and laboratory facilities are located on the first floor of Gatch Hall (Clinical Building). Clinical education sites are in the Indianapolis metropolitan area. Students are responsible for their transportation to these sites.
