| Professional Accreditation | The combined program of Bachelor of Medical Sonography and Graduate Diploma of Medical Sonography has been accredited by the Australasian Sonographer Accreditation Registry (ASAR). Both parts of the program must be completed to gain accreditation. This is the first accredited program of its kind in Australia which allows applicants the opportunity to study Sonography without having first taken another degree. The external accreditation body sets a maximum time that students must complete this program of study. Please refer to More Details for important information. |
| Residential School | There are several first year courses that include mandatory residential schools/workshops attached to the following program for all students. These residential schools must be attended at the campus of enrolment ONLY. See Residential School |
| Practicum/Work placement | There will be a total of 62 weeks spent in clinical placements. Because most clinical facilities can host only one student at a time, the placement locations affiliated with each campus of the program are spread over a large geographical region. As a result, prospective students are advised that they must prepare personally and financially to relocate intra and interstate for some or all of their placement.
In addition to the clinical placements, the 2nd and part of the 3rd year of the Medical Sonography program involve 3-5 days/week of on-campus commitment. This includes participation in mandatory laboratory sessions to enable students to gain practical scanning skills prior to clinical placement. These labs require the active involvement of students in partial disrobing and scanning procedures and must be attended at the campus of enrolment. |
