Program Overview

Cardiac sonographers use advanced diagnostic ultrasound equipment to produce dynamic real-time imaging of the heart's chambers, walls, valves, and great vessels to assist physicians in diagnosing cardiovascular disease. The Cardiac Sonography Concentration at Thomas Jefferson University prepares students for entry-level practice in Sonography as competent, caring members of the healthcare team, cultivating professionalism and lifelong learning. Students will acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to evaluate acquired and congenital cardiac abnormalities, track and evaluate chronic heart conditions, and perform stress echocardiograms.
