Note: Applicants who are not already registered with ASAR as a general sonographer are advised that the program requires the completion of 2200 hours of supervised clinical sonography experience. Applicants are responsible for organising and maintaining an ongoing training position to acquire the requisite experience; and progression through the program is conditional upon meeting prescribed milestones.
Students in this program are required to maintain their own supervised training position for the duration of their study, otherwise they will be unable to progress in the program.
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.
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.
From 4 August 2025, the University of South Australia will no longer be accepting applications for new students. Study at Adelaide University.
This program enables graduates to apply for full professional accreditation from the Australian Sonographer Accreditation Registry (ASAR) under the General Sonography category. Evidence of scanning experience in an Australian or New Zealand clinical setting is required for such accreditation.
