DIAGNOSTIC MEDICAL SONOGRAPHERS; CARDIOVASCULAR TECHNOLOGISTS AND TECHNICIANS (INCLUDING VASCULAR TECHNOLOGISTS)
Diagnostic medical sonographers and cardiovascular technologists and technicians, including vascular tech- nologists, operate special imaging equipment to create images or conduct tests. The images and test results help physicians assess and diagnose medical conditions. Some technologists assist physicians and surgeons during surgical procedures. These professionals typically do the follow- ing: Prepare patients for procedures by taking a patient’s medical history and answering questions about the proce- dure; prepare and maintain diagnostic imaging equipment; operate equipment to obtain diagnostic images or conduct tests; review images or test results to check for quality and adequate coverage of the areas needed for diagnoses; rec- ognize the difference between normal and abnormal imag- es; analyze diagnostic information to provide a summary of findings for physicians; and keep track of patients’ records.
EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
Diagnostic medical sonographers and cardiovascular technologists and technicians, including vascular technol- ogists, need formal education, such as an associate degree
or a postsecondary certificate. Many employers also re- quire professional certification. Colleges and universities offer both associate- and bachelor’s-degree programs in sonography and in cardiovascular and vascular tech- nology. One-year certificate programs are also available from colleges and hospitals. Employers typically prefer graduates of programs accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs.

DIAGNOSTIC MEDICAL SONOGRAPHERS’ AVERAGE SALARY: $58,550

DIETITIANS AND NUTRITIONISTS
Dietitians and nutritionists typically do the following: assess patients’ and clients’ nutritional and health needs; counsel patients on nutrition issues and healthy eating habits; develop meal plans, taking both cost and clients’ preference into account; evaluate the effects of meal plans and change the plans as needed; promote better health by speaking to groups about diet, nutrition and the
relationship between good eating habits and preventing or managing specific diseases; keep up with or contribute to the latest food and nutritional science research; and write reports to document patients’ progress. Dietitians and nutritionists who are self-employed may meet with patients or may work as consultants for a variety of organizations. They may need to spend time on marketing and other business-related tasks, such as scheduling appointments, keeping records and preparing educational programs or informational materials for clients.
EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
Most dietitians and nutritionists have a bachelor’s degree in dietetics, foods and nutrition, clinical nutrition, public health nutrition or a related area. Dietitians may also study food-service-systems management. Programs include courses in nutrition, psychology, chemistry and biology. Dietitians and nutritionists typically receive several hundred hours of supervised training, usually in the form of an internship following graduation from college. Some dietetics schools offer coordinated programs in dietetics that allow students to complete supervised training as part of their undergraduate or graduate-level coursework.
