This generally includes completing homework and other projects utilizing resources and materials for reading, lessons or lectures for viewing, assignments for completing, streaming video content online, simulation practice, posted lecture notes, exchanges across discussion boards, and exams for evaluation.\n\nLab courses or lab components of a didactic nature require students to be onsite and in class working with their instructors and classmates learning and practicing their scanning skills and hands-on competencies.\n\nTo supplement the classroom and lab work, a substantial portion of the Hybrid Diagnostic Medical Sonography program is also devoted to placement at various clinical affiliates (which could be in Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, or the Bronx) for a range of scanning opportunities and experiences.\n\nThe diversity of clinical settings gives students the opportunity to develop their scanning skills and helps them fully integrate didactic knowledge with direct hands-on clinical experience. Hunter Business School students apply what they've learned in the classroom and labs to turn theoretical knowledge into practical skills.\nThe Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) has accredited the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program under the recommendation of the Joint Review Committee on the Education in Diagnostic Medical Sonography (JRC-DMS).\n\nThe American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS®) is an independent nonprofit organization that administers examinations and awards credentials in the areas of diagnostic medical sonography and ultrasound technicians. Upon successful completion of this program, graduates will immediately be able to take the registry exam given by ARDMS.\n\nThere is exceptional potential for career growth and advancement for skilled sonographers within the traditional clinical setting, as well as the nonclinical avenues of ultrasound. Opportunities are available for part-time and full-time employment."},"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://hunterbusinessschool.edu/programs-offered/diagnostic-medical-sonography-program","ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}}}
