Course overview
A first of its kind in Australia, this course allows students to enter a niche medical profession with no prior degree in health sciences.
The Medical Sonography course will enable students to apply sonographic knowledge and practical scanning skills in the diagnostic imaging setting. As a graduate, students can apply to register as an Accredited Medical Sonographer in the general category with the Australian Sonographer Accreditation Registry (ASAR).
Medical Sonographers (or Ultrasonographers) take diagnostic images using ultrasonic equipment to create still, video or 3D studies of anatomy and diagnostic data. They scan, analyse and modify images to optimise the information and require highly developed patient care and communication skills. This is a high demand course and places are limited. For more course information, visit Bachelor of Medical Sonography and Graduate Diploma of Medical Sonography.
