Hello! I very much want to get into the diagnostic medical sonography field, yet I have no medical training. I plan to attend a community college and begin my studies towards acquiring an Associate's which hopefully will land me a job, then working towards a Bachelor's while I work during the day. As of right now, finding an accredited program in DMS has been difficult, even living in Southern Cali, since there are waiting lists at all the good CAAHEP schools. I am wondering, can I get into the sonography/radiology field with an Allied Health major? What types of jobs can I get with that credential?
If you can get on a waiting list now, do so. If not, get your AA that can transfer to DMS. Talk to a counselor. Make sure you are strong in Math, because that is a required field. Also, don't get discouraged, it is a challenging field but rewarding. Good luck |
