Clinical Travel
- OSU-Oklahoma City Cardiovascular Sonography clinical rotation sites are predominately based in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. However, there are some out-of-town clinical sites that will require travel to other cities in Oklahoma.
- Throughout the program, all students will be required to rotate through each clinical site to include the out-of-town sites.
- The expectation of travel requirements should be taken into account when applying to the program. Please factor your availability to satisfy these requirements in your decision to apply.
The Diagnostic Medical Sonography Department does not guarantee employment and/or referenced salary ranges upon graduation. Graduates typically gain employment through successful and productive clinical rotation assignments. Please factor your interpersonal skills into your decision to apply for a sonography degree.
