If I major in Medical Technology, can i become and ultrasound technician?
Asked by AM
I know that most people that major in medical technology have to work in labs. But is it possible to become an ultrasound technician with this major?

Best Answer:
Not with only that degree, no. But there are tons of Sonography programs for people who already have a medical degree of at least one yr in length, or already have a bachelor's degree. Just make sure you find one that's accredited: http://www.caahep.org/Find-An-Accredited-Program/ Here's a great site for some basic info on Ultrasound: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos273.htm

No, you have to go to school for ultrasound training, it's not just on-the-job learning. Accredited programs (select "Diagnostic Medical Sonographer"): http://www.caahep.org/Find-An-Accredited-Program/ Good luck.
