Diagnostic Medical Sonographers direct high frequency sound waves into the body to obtain medical images that assist physicians with the diagnosis of disease.  Sonographers must possess excellent interpersonal communication skills, strong critical thinking skills, and significant hand-eye coordination.

The Boise State Diagnostic Medical Sonography campus-based bachelor degree program is five semesters long, consisting of integrated classroom and clinical education.  The student is responsible to provide transportation to and from their assigned clinical sites.
