Find the right school for you
Most employers in Wyoming, as well as most certification agencies, will require ultrasound technicians to show on-going professional competence by acquiring continuing medical education (CME) credits throughout their careers. To maintain active certification, agencies often require the completion of documented and approved credits every two years. Ultrasound technicians in Wyoming can customize credits as long as continuing education activities are directly related to their career focus and are formally approved. Continuing education efforts can also lead to managerial and supervisory positions. In addition, employers and agencies commonly provide opportunities to complete CME credits through:
- Online resources
- Home study or self-instructional learning
- Education through the Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography
- Healthcare lectures and seminars
- Addition certifications in related fields
An alterative to a formal education is through externships and other training programs provided by medical health facilities. Since 59% of all ultrasound technicians are employed by hospitals, contact local Wyoming hospitals and inquire about any accredited training programs they may offer.
Either campus based programs or online schools, will prepare would-be ultrasound techs in Casper, Laramie, Cheyenne, Gillette and Rock Springs for careers at some of Wyoming’s best healthcare facilities including the Cheyenne Regional Medical Center, Saint John's Medical Center, Campbell County Memorial Hospital and Wyoming Medical Center.
