Ultrasound Technician Hospital Programs
Ultrasound technicians generate images of specific areas of a person's body using specialized equipment. Many ultrasound technicians receive their training from colleges, vocational institutes, the armed forces or hospitals. Many hospitals throughout the United States offer programs that result in certificates of completion and the ability to receive certification from the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography. In fact, some of the highest ranked hospitals--as ranked by U.S. News--offer ultrasound technology programs.
