The institute offers practical training programs that are developed for existing ultrasound technologists who wish to acquire additional skills in ultrasound examination.

Our training programs are designed to strengthen knowledge and clarify existing understanding of basic ultrasound physics and instrumentation, medical terminology, anatomy, scanning techniques and protocols for carrying out ultrasound examination.

Our newest hands-on program UT-202: Echocardiography is especially designed for practicing ultrasound professionals. In this well organized and optimized program, information is provided in a way for you to clarify the concepts and to assist in the preparation of the registry exams. The course is delivered using audio-visuals. The course allows you to comprehend concepts and gain command of the material.

The objective of our other theoretical ultrasound training programs is to prepare the participants for the Registry Specialty examination. The hands-on training programs provide opportunities in the further refinement of the imaging skills, conditioned through practice and theory necessary for the entry level Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound Technologist positions.

As applicable, an Ultrasound Technologist is expected to demonstrate an introductory level knowledge of ultrasound physics and instrumentation, medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, patient care procedures, normal sonographic Application of abdominal and small parts, OB/GYN, musculoskeletal and vascular case study protocol.

A Certificate of Participation is awarded to participants upon successful completion of our training programs.
