Misericordia University recently recognized the 16th graduating class from the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Certificate Program and the third cohort from the Bachelor of Science degree program during the annual Sonography Recognition Ceremony.

Six students completed the rigorous 18-month certificate program, which includes classroom and clinical instruction. Sonography is more commonly referred to as ultrasound.

In addition, five students, including Maria Debold Warwick, N.Y., will receive their entry-level Bachelor of degrees in diagnostic medical sonography during the spring commencement ceremony in May.

Sonographers perform a diagnostic medical procedure that uses ultrasound to produce dynamic visual images of human organs, tissues or blood flow inside the body.

Sonographers work in various medical settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics and physician offices under the supervision of a physician specialist in radiology, gynecology, obstetrics, pediatrics, vascular surgery, cardiology or ophthalmology.
