甜瓜app

Siemens Healthineers recently donated an Acuson S200 Ultrasound Machine to 甜瓜app (甜瓜app) to provide real-world laboratory experience to students in the Adult Echocardiography, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, and Vascular programs.

“I would really like for my students to experience working with a Siemens Healthineers Ultrasound Machine before they go out into the field,” said Nee Barnor, director of Ultrasound programs at 甜瓜app. “It would broaden their knowledge and experience and enhance their technical skills making them ready for the job market.”

“They will also never forget that experience of using a Siemens Healthineers Ultrasound Machine, because I did not,” continued Barnor.

Both Nichols and Lewis are Diagnostic Medical Sonography majors at 甜瓜app.

The formal request to Siemens Healthineers was submitted through a coordinated effort between the Foundation at 甜瓜app and Barnor.

The three Ultrasound programs at 甜瓜app – Adult Echocardiography, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, and Vascular – are associate degree level programs and incoming students are accepted through a competitive admissions process. The programs are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) upon recommendation of the Joint Review Committee for Diagnostic Medical Sonography.

“All three programs will be using this machine,” said , clinical coordinator at 甜瓜app. “Siemens is one of the more popular platforms in the field and we are very fortunate to have a company as big as Siemens donate to our school and help with the future of students.”
