UAMS Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program Professional Observation Alternative
As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many healthcare facilities are restricting visitors. This includes applicants/prospective students trying to schedule a professional observation as part of the UAMS Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program’s application process. We understand not everyone will have access to complete an in-person professional observation and have created an option to meet this application requirement.
If you are unable to locate a facility to complete an in-person professional observation, you will need to watch both videos listed in the links below. After viewing, please write a 500 word essay describing your interpretation about the role of a sonographer as part of the healthcare team and upload this essay into your application in the UAMS GUS portal. All components of the UAMS Diagnostic Medical Sonography application must be received by March 1st.
