The Diagnostic Cardiovascular Sonography (probationary) program at Pharma-Medical Science College provides access to the state-of-the-art equipment and the latest technology in ultrasound technology to make the students employment ready once they graduate from the school.

Diagnostic medical sonography, usually known as ultrasound, uses high-frequency sound waves to examine the developing foetus, heart, abdomen, pelvis, and blood vessels. Each patient comes with unique needs and, as a student, you will learn diagnostic analytic, problem-solving and group/team association skills to give each patient the highest quality of care and support.



In Diagnostic Cardiovascular Sonography students will concentrate on developing both the theoretical and clinical competency in the field of cardiac sonography and achieve a widespread laboratory and clinical practical experience with the help of our expert instructors who are practicing in the field for a long time.
