Graduate Diploma in Medical Ultrasound

About

A rewarding career that combines technical skill, patient care and medical knowledge. Use ultrasound to assist in the diagnosis of a wide range of medical and health conditions with a Graduate Diploma in Medical Ultrasound. This course will teach you the principles of ultrasound technology and give you the skills to undertake a range of examination practices including abdominal, obstetric, vascular and musculoskeletal ultrasound.
