Diagnostic Medical Sonography Certification/Licensure

Students completing the BS Health Science w/Concentration in Diagnostic Medical Sonography successfully will also complete requirements for the Associate of Science degree program in Diagnostic Medical Sonography which is needed for eligibility to apply for admission to write the certification examination administered by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS).  Successful completion of the ARDMS examinations provides certification to practice as a registered sonographer in most states.

State licensure is currently required in NH NM, ND, and OR.  All other states do not require licensure. Passing of the certification exam is required in order to apply for state licensure. South College works with students in preparation to sit for the exam.
