Medical Sonography

The Guru of Medical Sonography (General) is specifically for medical radiation along with other allied health professionals who'd want to broaden their career prospects. In three decades of part-time study students extend their knowledge, technical skills and understanding of medical sonography, with the opportunity to learn higher level clinical capabilities, or pursue research. Practical learning can be a major focus, with students focusing on 2,200 hours of ultrasound training and associated clinical placements. The level is offered on line, with presence for an on-campus final clinical examination.

This system enables pupils to apply for full professional certification from the Australian Sonographer Accreditation Registry (ASAR) under the General Sonography category. Proof of scan experience within an Australian or New Zealand clinical setting is required for such certification.
