Associate in Science (AS) Diagnostic Medical Sonography

The Diagnostic Medical Sonography Associate in Science (A.S.) degree program at Valencia College prepares you to go directly into a specialized career in sonography.

If you’re fascinated by the inner workings of the human body, then you may want to consider becoming a sonographer. Sonographers play a dynamic role in the treatment and care of patients. When a doctor needs to study any of the soft tissue organs of a patient–like the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, thyroid or breast–it is the sonographer who provides the images using high frequency sound waves via ultrasound. You may also get to share in an experience most people remember for a lifetime–providing expectant mothers with their first glimpse of an unborn child.
