Program Goals and Outcomes

The goals and learning outcomes for the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program are divided into the following categories:

  • Patient Care (Affective)
  • Professional Development (Behavioral)
  • Clinical Proficiency (Cognitive)

At a minimum, students will be evaluated in the ABCs – affective, behavioral and cognitive skills – on a quarterly basis. In addition, these domains will be evaluated in a comprehensive professional growth evaluation. The analysis, performed by the clinical staff, will be cumulative and representative of all cohorts. A benchmark of 90 (A-) will be expected in each of the categories.

Below are the program outcomes for students who have enrolled in the clock-hour based Diagnostic Medical Sonography program at AIMS Education. These outcomes are based on our 2021 Annual Report submitted to JRC-DMS in December 2022. The 2021 Annual Report covers the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021.
