Diagnostic Medical Sonography

Paulina is a graduate of CAHE's Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program, currently working as a Sonographer in General and Vascular Lab at Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology.

We sat down with Paulina to discuss her experience in the program and the field:

CAHE: What inspired you to join the field of Diagnostic Medical Sonography?

Paulina: I had a few family friends in the medical field and when I asked for their advice, they told me about sonography and how they wished they went in that direction when they were younger.

CAHE: What is the greatest lesson that you learned in the program?

Paulina: I learned to believe in myself. The program is very intense and you may doubt your knowledge, but you get stronger and smarter with each semester.

CAHE: What is one piece of advice that you would give to perspective students looking to enter the field of Diagnostic Medical Sonography?

Paulina: Be prepared for very hard work and dedication. You have to be the best student you can be and gain the most knowledge you can in order to be a good sonographer. One misdiagnosis can cost a patient more than you know.
