The 13 month program comprises an initial ten weeks of Monday through Friday, 3:30p-9:30p, didactic classroom instruction, concentration on anatomy, basic equipment operation and fundamental skill development in cardiac ultrasound. Specialty areas of the program include evaluation of the heart, it’s valves and chambers and associated vessels through performance of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and stress echocardiography (SE). Students begin the program by learning the basic fundamentals of heart function and physiology, then concentrate on core, didactic, lab, and clinical cardiovascular courses related to Adult Echocardiography. The echocardiography program is a highly specialized certificate program that produces graduates who are knowledgeable, compassionate and responsible healthcare professionals that assist in diagnostic procedures performed in an adult echocardiography setting.
