Final Competency Assessment (3) Review and evaluation of student competencies. I he Diagnostic Medical Sonography program is designed as an advanced discipline of study for two-year graduates of accredited programs. A student can complete the required courses and be eligible to sit for the national certification examination. The courses offered in Diagnostic Medical Sonography are upper-division and will be accepted as satisfying the requirements for a primary area emphasis for those students who have been accepted into the Bachelor of Science program. The program and support courses are three (3) semesters in length for the Medical-Vascular Emphasis and three (3) semesters in length for the Cardiac Emphasis, which requires the student to attend summer semester. A competency-based evaluation system is 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. The clinical education courses require a minimum of 24 clock hours per calendar week in an affiliated health care facility. To obtain a baccalaureate degree, the student must complete the WSU General Education requirements; a major and a minor emphasis; a quality assurance course; and RadTec SI4943, Baccalaureate Thesis (3), or equivalent. Diagnostic Medical Sonography » Program Prerequisite: Must be an ARRT registered technologist or acceptable equivalent as determined by the Department of Radiologic Sciences, make application and be accepted to the program of choice (refer to the Admission Requirements below). » Grade Requirements: After admittance to the program, a GPA of 2.0 or a grade of "C" is required in all professional courses. » Credit Hour Requirements: Credit hours required will vary according to the chosen emphasis. Consult with a faculty member to complete an academic contract. Advisement Students should meet with the admissions counselor at least annually for course and program review. Call 801-626-6057 for more information or to schedule an appointment. Admission Requirements To be eligible for admission to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program, the following criteria must be met: 1. Application must be made to Weber State. 2.
