Department of Diagnostic Medical Sonography


      Susan Price, Chair; Beth Maxwell; Rachel Moutoux; Kelvin Paulsen

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM

      Diagnostic medical sonography uses sound waves (ultrasound) to produce both 2D and 3D
dynamic images of tissue, organs, and blood flow inside the human body. The sonographer, a highly
skilled advanced imaging specialist, uses sophisticated equipment in order to master the art of
scanning. Sonographers work closely with physicians to provide accurate detection of disease and the
highest-quality patient care.
      Areas of specialization including abdominal, vascular, obstetrics/gynecology, and
echocardiography are all available in a single bachelor’s degree curriculum at Kettering College.
Therefore, the Kettering College graduate is well-suited to work in any sonography specialty and, with
the BS degree, has the comprehensive education required to become a leader in the sonography
profession.
      Students must complete prerequisite coursework (year 1) prior to submitting an application and
being accepted from a competitive pool of applicants to the sonography program. Once the student is
accepted, the sophomore year (year 2) will provide additional coursework in the arts and sciences with
an introduction to sonography in the winter semester. The junior year (year 3), the student will begin
sonography clinical experiences and classroom experience in abdominal and vascular technology. The
last year (year 4) provides experiences in obstetrics/gynecology and adult echocardiography and a
clinical externship. Upon successful completion of the program, a student receives the Bachelor of
Science degree with a major in diagnostic medical sonography.

MISSION STATEMENT

      The diagnostic medical sonography department is committed to excellence in providing quality
learning experiences for students as they strive to become caring, competent, professional
sonographers who serve human needs in the Christian spirit.

CLINICAL INFORMATION

        1. Clinical education: To be of maximum benefit to the sonography student and to enhance
               versatility and skills, Kettering College provides a wide variety of clinical experiences. These
               rotations include hospitals, outpatient imaging centers, and physician offices. The student may
               be assigned to Kettering College’s sonography clinical affiliates anywhere in Ohio, Northern
               Kentucky, or Indiana. The final summer externship provides full-time experience in various
               specialties and unique opportunities in sonography. In cooperation with the clinical
               coordinator, students may choose a clinical site anywhere in the United States and/or
               experiences in sonography education, research, management, and mission trips.
        2. Clinical contact hours: The student will accumulate more than 1,900 clinical hours in diagnostic
               medical sonography. This makes the program highly rigorous.
        3. Reliable transportation: Students are responsible for their own transportation to clinical
               education assignments.
        4. Attendance: The professional demands of diagnostic medical sonography make attendance for
               class and clinicals a requirement for student success.

      §   Earn a grade of C or higher for all diagnostic medical sonography (SONO) courses and all other
           arts and sciences courses.
      §   The student who receives a grade below C or W (WP or WF) in a sonography (SONO) course
           will be dismissed from the program and must apply for readmission. Students will be
           readmitted under the Academic Bulletin in use at the time they reapply.

READMISSION

      Students wishing to apply for readmission should apply in writing to the department chair of
diagnostic medical sonography. If readmitted, a student may repeat a course only once. A course must
be repeated the next term in which the course is offered. Requests for readmission will be evaluated on
an individual basis. A student readmitted after receiving a grade below C in a didactic sonography
course will be required to register for an audit in the concurrent clinical sonography course in which
the didactic course is being repeated. Satisfactory completion of the audit is required for progression to
the next clinical sonography course.
      The decision to readmit a student will be on the following criteria:
      1. Available space within the program.
      2. Review and evaluation of the student’s standing, relative to any revisions that may have
           occurred in the program.
      3. Review and evaluation of academic and clinical performance.
      4. Submission of evidence demonstrating potential for academic success.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

   1. Students must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.0.
   2. Students must achieve a C or better in all sonography (SONO) courses and all other arts and
           sciences courses for graduation.
   3. If a student receives a grade of C- or below in any arts and sciences course, the course must be
           retaken prior to graduation.
   4. Students must meet all other graduation requirements as specified in this Academic Bulletin.

  • 1. Department of Diagnostic Medical Sonography Susan Price, Chair; Beth Maxwell; Rachel Moutoux; Kelvin Paulsen DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM Diagnostic medical sonography uses sound waves (ultrasound) to produce both 2D and 3D dynamic images of tissue, organs, and blood flow inside the human body. The sonographer, a highly skilled advanced imaging specialist, uses sophisticated equipment in order to master the art of scanning. Sonographers work closely with physicians to provide accurate detection of disease and the highest-quality patient care. Areas of specialization including abdominal, vascular, obstetrics/gynecology, and echocardiography are all available in a single bachelor’s degree curriculum at Kettering College. Therefore, the Kettering College graduate is well-suited to work in any sonography specialty and, with the BS degree, has the comprehensive education required to become a leader in the sonography profession. Students must complete prerequisite coursework (year 1) prior to submitting an application and being accepted from a competitive pool of applicants to the sonography program. Once the student is accepted, the sophomore year (year 2) will provide additional coursework in the arts and sciences with an introduction to sonography in the winter semester. The junior year (year 3), the student will begin sonography clinical experiences and classroom experience in abdominal and vascular technology. The last year (year 4) provides experiences in obstetrics/gynecology and adult echocardiography and a clinical externship. Upon successful completion of the program, a student receives the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in diagnostic medical sonography. MISSION STATEMENT The diagnostic medical sonography department is committed to excellence in providing quality learning experiences for students as they strive to become caring, competent, professional sonographers who serve human needs in the Christian spirit. END-OF-DEGREE STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Kettering College sonography graduates will demonstrate: § Professional, compassionate care for patients and others. § Reasoning ability and critical thinking skills. § Technical competence as sonographers. 158
  • 2. § Adherence to the Code of Ethics and Scope of Practice ascribed to by the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography. § Respect for cultural, ethnic, and individual diversity. § Effective written and verbal communication skills. § Characteristics of lifelong learners. ACCREDITATION This program meets the essentials of and is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) upon recommendation from the Joint Review Committee for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (JRCDMS). PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION Upon successful completion of the junior year, students are eligible to write the physics and instrumentation examination for the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS). Upon successful completion of the entire curriculum, graduates are eligible to write the sonography specialty examinations of Abdomen and Small Parts, Vascular Technology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Adult Echocardiography examinations for the ARDMS. The ARDMS may deny eligibility to those who have been convicted of, entered a plea of guilty to, or entered a plea of no contest to a crime directly related to public health or safety or the provision of diagnostic medical sonography or vascular technology services. Contact the ARDMS at 800-541-9754 or http://ardms.org for further information. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Note: Degree program requirements change regularly; students should check www.kc.edu for the most up-to-date information. Admission to the diagnostic medical sonography program is competitive and occurs one time during the academic year for fall entry. Preference is given to individuals who demonstrate academic strength in the prerequisite coursework. Prerequisite courses are available at Kettering College prior to applying for the diagnostic medical sonography program. Transfer students are encouraged to contact the admissions office for advising on prerequisite course equivalency. College admission: Applicants must meet all Kettering College admission requirements. GPA: Applicants must present transcripts reflecting a GPA of 2.5 or above (on a 4.0 scale) for all prerequisite courses.   159

Clinical education: To be of maximum benefit to the sonography student and to enhance versatility and skills, Kettering College provides a wide variety of clinical experiences. These rotations include hospitals, outpatient imaging centers, and physician offices. The student may be assigned to Kettering College’s sonography clinical affiliates anywhere in Ohio, Northern Kentucky, or Indiana. The final summer externship provides full-time experience in various specialties and unique opportunities in sonography. In cooperation with the clinical coordinator, students may choose a clinical site anywhere in the United States and/or experiences in sonography education, research, management, and mission trips. 2. Clinical contact hours: The student will accumulate more than 1,900 clinical hours in diagnostic medical sonography. This makes the program highly rigorous. 3. Reliable transportation: Students are responsible for their own transportation to clinical education assignments. 4. Attendance: The professional demands of diagnostic medical sonography make attendance for class and clinicals a requirement for student success.     165
  • 9. PROGRESSION In order to progress in the diagnostic medical sonography program, the student must: § Earn a grade of C or higher for all diagnostic medical sonography (SONO) courses and all other arts and sciences courses. § The student who receives a grade below C or W (WP or WF) in a sonography (SONO) course will be dismissed from the program and must apply for readmission. Students will be readmitted under the Academic Bulletin in use at the time they reapply. READMISSION Students wishing to apply for readmission should apply in writing to the department chair of diagnostic medical sonography. If readmitted, a student may repeat a course only once. A course must be repeated the next term in which the course is offered. Requests for readmission will be evaluated on an individual basis. A student readmitted after receiving a grade below C in a didactic sonography course will be required to register for an audit in the concurrent clinical sonography course in which the didactic course is being repeated. Satisfactory completion of the audit is required for progression to the next clinical sonography course. The decision to readmit a student will be on the following criteria: 1. Available space within the program. 2. Review and evaluation of the student’s standing, relative to any revisions that may have occurred in the program. 3. Review and evaluation of academic and clinical performance. 4. Submission of evidence demonstrating potential for academic success. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS 1. Students must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.0. 2. Students must achieve a C or better in all sonography (SONO) courses and all other arts and sciences courses for graduation. 3. If a student receives a grade of C- or below in any arts and sciences course, the course must be retaken prior to graduation. 4. Students must meet all other graduation requirements as specified in this Academic Bulletin. 166
