ECTC expanding sonography program to Owensboro

Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, in partnership with HealthForce Kentucky, is expanding its Diagnostic Medicine Sonography Program to Owensboro Community and Technical College.

“There is so much growth in the healthcare workforce in Kentucky, and we just think this is a really great example of two colleges within the KCTCS system being able to work together to give students more options and more opportunities to strengthen Kentucky’s workforce even further, especially in the high-demand healthcare field,” said ECTC Director of Marketing and Public Affairs Sarah Berkshire. 

ECTC says diagnostic medical sonography uses high-frequency sound waves to produce high-quality images of soft tissue and motion within the body. The program will prepare qualified individuals to become proficient in abdominal and obstetric/gynecological sonography. Participants in the program are eligible for the Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship.

The deadline to register for ECTC’s program has passed, but there is still time  this week to sign up for the new Owensboro program.

“The deadline for applications to the Owensboro program is October 15, but it’s really important for prospective students to note that attending a pre-admission conference is required for applicants, and those are going to be held October 9 and on October 14,” Berkshire said.

The preadmission conferences will be accessible virtually. Visit ectc.us/sonography to find dates for the conferences and to learn more.
