Travel Job Description: Ultrasound Technician (Sonographer)
Position Overview: An Ultrasound Technician, also known as a
Sonographer, is a medical professional who uses ultrasound
equipment to create diagnostic images or conduct tests that help
doctors assess and diagnose medical conditions. The images produced
help in diagnosing issues related to organs, tissues, and blood
flow, particularly in the abdomen, pelvis, and other areas. Common
Duties and Responsibilities: Patient Interaction: Explain
procedures to patients to ensure understanding and comfort during
the ultrasound process. Assist patients in preparing for the
ultrasound, such as positioning them on the examination table.
Provide patients with appropriate clothing, such as gowns, and
maintain their privacy during the procedure. Operating Ultrasound
Equipment: Set up and calibrate ultrasound equipment for optimal
imaging based on the patient’s needs. Use the ultrasound machine’s
transducer to capture high-quality images. Monitor patient
responses during the procedure, adjusting the equipment as
necessary to ensure accurate results. Image Evaluation: Review
images to ensure they are of sufficient quality for diagnosis.
Adjust settings on the ultrasound equipment to improve image
clarity as needed. Document results and provide reports to
physicians or other healthcare professionals. Maintaining Patient
Records: Record patient information, procedures performed, and
results in electronic health records (EHR) or other systems. Ensure
proper documentation is provided for further medical analysis or
consultation. Infection Control: Clean and maintain ultrasound
equipment and examination rooms in accordance with health and
safety standards. Follow strict infection control protocols to
prevent contamination between patients. Collaboration: Work closely
with physicians, radiologists, and other medical staff to interpret
and evaluate diagnostic images. Participate in discussions
regarding patient care and assist in providing additional imaging
if required. Other Tasks: Assist with other imaging tasks, such as
echocardiograms or vascular ultrasound. Keep up with continuing
education and training to stay current on ultrasound technology and
best practices. Educational and Certification Requirements:
Completion of an accredited ultrasound technology program
(Associate's or Bachelor's degree). Certification through a
recognized body such as the American Registry for Diagnostic
Medical Sonography (ARDMS) or the American Registry of Radiologic
Technologists (ARRT). Some states may also require specific state
licensure, which could involve additional testing or compliance
with state-specific regulations. States that Require Certification
or Licensure: While certification through a national organization
like the ARDMS is generally recommended and may be required for
certain employers, the following states have specific licensure or
certification requirements for ultrasound technicians: California:
Requires licensure for ultrasound technicians, regulated by the
California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Florida: Requires
licensing through the Florida Department of Health for certain
imaging modalities. New York: Requires ultrasound technicians to
hold a license from the New York State Department of Health,
including specific educational and certification criteria. Texas:
Requires certification and registration through the Texas Medical
Board for certain types of diagnostic medical imaging. Note: Many
other states have varying regulations, so it’s essential to check
with state-specific medical boards or licensing agencies for the
latest requirements. Some states, like Arizona and Pennsylvania,
may not mandate state licensure, but national certification may
still be required for employment. Skills and Qualities: Strong
attention to detail for capturing high-quality images.
Compassionate and empathetic, as working with patients is a key
component of the role. Good communication skills to explain
procedures to patients and collaborate with healthcare
professionals. Ability to remain calm and professional in a
fast-paced or stressful environment. Working Conditions: Work
typically occurs in hospitals, outpatient clinics, diagnostic
imaging centers, or physician offices. The Good Life MedStaff Job
