The questionnaire includes information such as the facility's address, contact details, and the number of sonograms performed annually. <br /><br />In terms of cardiac requirements, the affiliate must perform approximately 800 patient examinations per year, with at least one full-time sonographer with RCS or RDCS credentials on staff. The facility must also enable students to perform the competencies listed in the document, with any limitations indicated. The facility should be able to host a student for approximately 24 hours a week.<br /><br />The Washburn University program offers online didactic classes, allowing students to remain in their current locations.

The names and credentials of registered CI and/or sonographers who will be working with the students must be provided.<br /><br />The document also includes the clinical competencies for adult cardiac sonography, which cover the evaluation and documentation of various cardiac structures and conditions. Transesophageal echocardiography and stress echocardiography are not required competencies but are preferred for students to perform or observe if possible.<br /><br />The contact details of Dr. Terry Sorensen, the Clinical Coordinator of the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program, are provided for any questions or assistance with the process.
