Students learn through a combination of classroom instruction, hands-on training in simulation labs, and supervised clinical experiences in local hospitals and imaging centers.The Cardiac Sonographer performs cardiovascular examinations to produce a picture of a heart and great vessels using high-frequency sound waves.
