Welcome Message from the Program Director

Jorge Aguilera
UT & Adult Echocardiography Program Director

Hello and welcome. I want to start by saying that Gurnick Academy is a fantastic place to learn echocardiography, and I hope I have the opportunity to start this exciting career path with you. Let me tell you a little about myself:

In June 2019,­­­ I was brought on board to be the Program Director for Ultrasound at the Sacramento Campus and made Program Director of the Echocardiography program in 2023. I have been practicing ultrasound/Echocardiography for over ten years, emphasizing complex ultrasound cases within a teaching hospital (UC Davis). I have prior managerial experience and teaching experience in the clinical setting of UC Davis.

I have two papers published in the Ultrasound Journal of Medicine and published pediatric protocols adopted by all the hospitals in the surrounding areas. Also, my military experience has guided me to run the program more efficiently, allowing for more excellent student and clinical site satisfaction.

I tell you all this to state that if you want the best education made by Sonographers for Sonographers, you have found the right place. We put patient care above all, and the best way we can help our patients is to ensure we are the highest educated echosonographers who can make the correct diagnosis every time.

I welcome you to take the challenge and help change lives forever. My staff and I will work with you every step of the way to ensure you are ready and confident when you graduate to help those who genuinely need it.

Welcome Message from the Program Director
