Hi great video wow. I am interested in RVT hoping to work in a vein out patient clinic. But not sure how to go about it. Is it best to look for a Sonography program the focuses in Vascular Sonography or Should i go the general route.

[@knottyj831]

Very informative. Thank you.

[@SonographyMinutes]

Thanks for watching!

[@User-lu8eh]

Can you get into sonography program straight out of high school

[@SonographyMinutes]

Not usually. Most programs have rigorous prerequisite classes to enter a Sonography program (there’s generally around 2 years of prerequisite classes, depending on the school)
