Within the medical industry, heart-related procedures ranging from surgery to sonography and monitoring require a great degree of care and training. By capturing images of the heart and its chambers, cardiac sonographers work to provide more information on a patient’s heart. The equipment used to diagnose and treat heart conditions is more sophisticated than ever, and it requires specialized training and experience to operate properly. This is a limited enrollment program.
Cardiac Sonography classes are taught exclusively at the Owosso campus. Plus, general education and prerequisite courses are typically available through Baker Online, Online Live, and on all campuses throughout Michigan.
