If you're looking to become an ultrasound tech in Georgia, there are a few steps you'll need to take to get certified.
- Get the right educational qualifications. You'll need an associate's degree in diagnostic medical sonography or related field. If you don't already have a bachelor's degree, you'll have to attend a school that offers an accredited ultrasound and sonography program. You can find accredited programs in Georgia through the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs.
2.Once you complete the educational program, you'll need to pass an exam administered by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS). This exam includes both a physics and patient care component. You can prepare for the exam by taking courses or reviewing practice materials offered by ARDMS.
- Finally, you'll need to obtain certification in the state of Georgia. You'll need to submit an application to the Georgia Composite Medical Board and pass an exam.
Once you've completed all of these steps, you'll be eligible to work as an ultrasound tech in Georgia. Good luck!
