Becoming Licensed
Holding a license as an ultrasound technician in Massachusetts is not currently mandatory. Becoming certified or earning a degree in the field are good options as they increase both the chances of getting hired and your salary from the start. The first step of getting licensed is to enroll in a training program that received accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health. The training program for a simple certificate lasts for about 1 year. Those interested in certification can also attempt to take the test organized by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS). These are held at the Pearson Vue testing centers. If the program was not accredited, the candidate needs to prove: 60 semester hours,
an internship
12 months of employment
Earning a Degree
To earn a degree like an Associate’s, candidates have to enroll in a special educational program that also includes practice hours in a clinic setting.
