Diagnostic Medical Sonography (B.S., A.S., Certificate)
Why choose a career in Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS) Sonographers need knowledge of human anatomy, physiology, pathology and physics in a clinical environment; a logical and precise mind is a plus. However, it’s also very important to have a good “bedside” manner and be empathetic to the anxiety a patient may have about the exam or any problems it may reveal. What can I study? At MSU, the DMS program accepts students into the program after a variety of prerequisites are completed, including a GPA of 2.5 or better, volunteer hours in a hospital or clinical setting, and CPR certification. You do not need to be a practicing medical professional or a graduate with a medical degree in order to be admitted. Career options DMS grew rapidly in the last 20 years and the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupation Outlook Handbook says DMS is expected to grow faster than average through 2012. According to the BLS, “median annual earning of diagnostic medical sonographers were $48,660” in 2002, with slightly higher earnings for sonographers working in physicians’ offices ($50,390) and hospitals ($47,530)."
