Ultrasound
Can I take the registry exam with ARDMS after I finish your program?
Yes you can. Students holding a Bachelor's degree are eligible to take the registry exam immediately after completing our program. Students without a Bachelor's degree have to work full time for one year to be eligible for the exam. Since the Delray Beach campus is a CAAHEP accredited DMS program, graduates can sit for the registry immediately upon graduation for Cardiac, Fetal, Abdomen, Breast and OBGY registries regardless of previous education. IAMP admissions criteria still apply.

No. You can definitely be hired as a sonographer without being registered. However we do encourage all of our students to take the registry exam to add to their credentials and therefore further their careers.
