Licensure and Certifications

Upon successful completion of the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program, graduates are eligible to apply to take the national certifying examinations administered by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS). See the on-line Career Ladder section under The Programs for exceptions.

To earn these credentials, candidates must pass the following American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) examinations:

Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer (RDMS): Sonography Principles and Instrumentation AND Abdomen, OR OB/GYN, OR Neurosonology, OR Breast Sonography, OR Fetal Echocardiography.
