The Vascular Ultrasound Technology Program has a library and classrooms with modern audiovisual teaching aids,
textbooks, journals, anatomical charts, models, and e-library resources. The scan laboratory is equipped with ultrasound machines
and other cardiology equipment.
The Vascular Ultrasound Technology Program is an Associate of Occupational Science Degree program.
The student will receive didactic, laboratory, and clinical education focused on vascular ultrasound covering
vascular anatomy and physiology, 2D imaging, PW, color flow Doppler,
and vascular pathology and methods of interpretation, which will be combined with General Education courses.
The Instructor-to-Student ratio is 1:25 during lectures, 1:10 in the laboratory,
and 1:1 during clinical externships.
The program comprises six (6) modules of 12 weeks each. During the program’s first module (12 weeks), students will take
General Education courses up to 24 hours per week via online delivery.
During the second module (12 weeks), students will continue to take General Education courses online for up to 24 hours per week.
The following two (2) modules (Module 3 and 4) consist of didactic/lab sessions only, which include
three (3) to five (5) days per week of up to eight (8) hours per day of didactic and lab instruction.
After completing four (4) modules, students are generally expected to start attending externships four (4) or five (5) days a week.
Master Scanning Labs (MSL) are scheduled once a month on days to be announced on a separate schedule and in no particular order.
The student receives 984 didactic and laboratory instruction hours and 800 clinical education hours,
allowing them to apply the lecture topics to practical use. The curriculum provides students with the technical, clinical, and interpersonal skills
necessary to succeed in this field. In addition, the program prepares students to take their RVS/RVT examinations.
An Associate of Occupational Science Degree in Vascular Ultrasound Technology is awarded upon program completion.
The normal completion time for this program is 72 weeks, excluding any holiday and vacation times.
Class times can and may be rescheduled on an alternate day of the week (i.e., Sunday through Saturday) to ensure program completion is on time
