Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts, a private medical vocation institution, is unveiling its new and improved sonography program. The program provides selected individuals with the technical, clinical, and interpersonal skills necessary to succeed within sonography’s challenging field.
Students now have the rare opportunity to increase their skills from one of eight ultrasound systems, including the MedSim Ultrasound Simulator with an upgraded scan laboratory. The ultrasound system is used during instructional scanning sessions before entering the clinical setting. All classrooms and libraries have modern audiovisual teaching aids, textbooks, journals, anatomical charts, and models that enhance education quality.
A recently reduced classroom size allows for one-on-one hands-on training by exceptionally knowledgeable instructors. Flexible didactic and laboratory schedules allow students the freedom to fine-tune their daily agenda through day and evening classes. Abundant lab instruction provides a whopping 650 hours for students, 550 hours above the competitor’s standard. The ultrasound laboratory is open for its students and graduates six (6) days per week, approximately 14 hours per day. The accessibility of the lab accommodates those with even the most compromising schedule.
Clinical education allows students to put their academic knowledge into practical use. Meticulous clinical training for students is provided through externships and clinical rotations at distinguished hospitals and outpatient imaging facilities throughout Northern and Southern California.
Students will now have the unique opportunity to incorporate high-risk obstetrics and train in an acute care setting such as an ER, ICU, or CCU. Besides providing a thorough curriculum, the Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts provides graduate support for those who have completed the ultrasound program. Recent graduates present job placement opportunities through numerous employment searches performed by Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts. Graduates also have access to the ultrasound lab, where they can maintain their scanning techniques.
Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts serves communities by maintaining high healthcare training standards as a leading healthcare education provider. By providing a supportive learning environment, graduates are instilled with confidence, skill, and experience for success in the healthcare industry.
