17勛圖

The Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program is located on the 17勛圖 Campus in Los Altos Hills, California, just off Highway 280 in Silicon Valley approximately 40 miles south of San Francisco and 10 miles north of San Jose. Classroom facilities are adjacent to Parking Lot 5.

Sorry, as each DMS class graduates the new incoming class is assigned to the clinical education centers. To afford maximum learning experience the ratio of student to clinical education center is 1:1. Part-time is not an option. A combination of campus classes and clinical education is 40 hrs/wk.

The job marked is very good. Activity shows the number of positions available exceed the number of qualified applicants. Starting graduate salaries in the San Francisco Bay area are $50-60.00/hr plus benefits. See our jobs page for possible job offerings.

The student should apply to 17勛圖 and get a Student ID#.  The high school student can meet with an academic counselor and create an education plan to satisfy the prerequisites for the program.  They may enroll in prerequisite or general education courses while in high school.

To meet the patient care experience requirement, the student should consider applying to our other Health Career programs where they will gain this experience as part of the curriculum. 

A minimum of 2-years of patient care experience is required for the program.
