Aim

The program provides medical radiation and other allied health professionals with the mechanism to develop a new professional area in medical sonography and, if desired, to undertake research in this specialist area.

Content & Structure

The program requires completion of courses totalling 54 units of study, together with the satisfactory completion of 2200 hours of ultrasound scanning experience and associated clinical examinations. The eight core courses (36 units of study) develop knowledge, clinical skills, critical thinking and analytical skills for effective practice as a medical sonographer. One core course (4.5 units of study) provides foundational research knowledge. The remaining units of study provide the opportunity for students to advance their knowledge in specialist areas of medical sonography practice or to undertake research in a specific area of medical sonography.
