ULTRASOUND PROGRAM Assistant Professor: Diane Kawamura Instructor: Dann Cohrs Description —The program is designed as an advanced discipline of study for two year graduates of A.M.A. accredited programs. A student can complete the required courses and be eligible to write the national certification examination. The courses offered in Ultrasound are upper division and will be accepted as satisfying the requirements for a primary area emphais for those students who have been accepted into the Bachelor of Science in Allied Health Sciences Program. Education —The program is one year in length, which requires the student to attend summer quarter. A competency based evaluation system will be utilized throughout the program. A student must achieve a predetermined level of competency in the academic and clinical courses in order to receive grades for the course.
