Summary
With sonography being my dream career I was able to easily adapt to various hospitals- as well as their protocols. I am open and willing to attempt any exam, no matter the difficultly. Completing my general competency sign offs seven months early, I was able to broaden my experience and introduced to the pediatric side of sonography. RDMS certified prior to graduation, as well as competent in general adult, and pediatric sonography.
