Applicants without training positions
From 2022, all applicants, who are not already accredited sonographers, will be required to demonstrate evidence that they are in a suitable training position for entry into the Graduate Diploma and Masters in Medical sonography (IGSO and IMSO) programs.
We acknowledge that there will be some applicants without training positions, who are either interested in exploring Medical Sonography as a profession, or who have been asked by a radiology practice to complete introductory courses prior to being able to start their training officially. To accommodate these students, we offer a Professional Certificate in Sonographic Principles and Theory. You can find more information about this option here.
