Specializing in sonography is your next professional goal. You are fascinated by the idea of using the physical effects of sonography in such a way that the sectional image information can make a valuable contribution to the diagnosis or the exclusion of diseases. As a future expert, you would like to gain insight into the diverse world of sonography and learn about the various application areas that the variety of different uses make possible. These include examinations of various anatomical regions such as the abdomen, neck, vascular diagnostics, clarification of echocardiological issues, prenatal diagnostics as well as muscle and nerve sonography with real-time representation of movement sequences. You like to communicate with patients and take care of their needs. As part of the interdisciplinary team, you work at the interface between patient and experts from different disciplines. Your motivation for choosing the course is the prospect of making a valuable contribution in the health sector with this high-quality specialization. What we offer you At FH Campus Wien, we use the knowledge of our wide range of degree programs and create innovative courses at the interfaces of the disciplines. We draw upon the professional expertise of full-time lecturers and external specialists from various disciplines in Austria and abroad and provide you with the opportunity to implement the theory you have learned on high-end devices in our skills lab. Your learning process is supported and accompanied by experienced tutors. The sonographic know-how of FH Campus Wien is already in demand internationally. Interdisciplinary projects are part of our university’s research strategy. You can use the scientifically proven knowledge and skills you have gained from the course in your responsible role for the benefit of the patient. As a recognized further education, successfully completing the academic course for sonography you graduate with the academic title Academic Expert in Sonography. Latest Technology in the Skills Lab In addition to two new Siemens Juniper ultrasound machines, the skills lab also has a GE Vivid S7 ultrasound machine that is specialized for cardiac and vascular diagnostics.The skills lab also has a GE Logic9 and a Philips CX30 series ultrasound machine at it’s disposal.The devices are user friendly and produce high quality images. With the new EchoPac software, it is possible to edit the resulting images on the PC. Simulation training with real cases The new sonography simulator supports the participants of the academic course Sonography to train ultrasound examinations. The simulation system is based on virtual and real clinical ultrasound data with pathological findings of more than 500 patients. What makes this degree program special Knowledge transfer from different disciplinesState-of-the-art Ultrasound Skills LabBlended learning with a high proportion of self-directed learning and attendance phases with hands-on trainingActive development of the job profile and sustainable further qualification in a specialist field that is in high demandInterprofessional collaboration with medical staff for the diagnosisNational and international experts in sonography as lecturersThe training and further education programs currently on the market lag far behind the actual need for experts of sonography. At FH Campus Wien, we took this as an opportunity to dedicate our technical expertise to developing an academic course together with researchers, teachers and practitioners from the intra- and extramural field of sonography. This collaboration provided valuable input in order to develop a curriculum that meets current requirements. International trends and visions in healthcare are current topics in the course. You provide impulses for future developments and areas of work and can complete the clinical routine as part of the course both at home and abroad. Work-life balance is important to us, which is why the course is organized in modules. Unlike individual advanced professional training courses, in the program at FH Campus Wien you will benefit from a comprehensive further education with an internationally accredited academic qualification. Furthermore, you will strengthen your expertise in your professional field. As part of the course, you can gain an additional competitive advantage by specializing in the field of sonography. What you will learn in the degree program The interdisciplinary curriculum offers you the opportunity to deepen and strengthen your expertise in sonography with well-known national and international experts.You will perfect your English as an international technical language during the course, which is held in English, and an optional stay abroad as part of practice-related courses.You will receive a technical update in the field of sonography and can expand your professional expertise in different medical disciplines according to the current requirements in the professional field. The course thus offers you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge acquired in basic training and to expand it with current examination procedures and innovative technologies. The high amount of hands-on training under the guidance of experienced tutors lets you put the knowledge you have acquired into practice immediately.Technical quality management in sonography is becoming increasingly important. In the course, you will receive comprehensive knowledge in quality management in order to be able to professionally work on future agendas of technical quality assurance at the sonographic workplace.Another focus of the course is interprofessional collaboration with medical staff when assessing examination results.
