OPTION OVERVIEW<br />
This program prepares students to pursue careers and registrystatus<br />
in diagnostic medical sonography through comprehensive<br />
instruction and clinical experience. The program covers<br />
ultrasound physics, abdominal sonography, obstetrical and<br />
gynecological sonography, sonographic subspecialties, and<br />
cross-sectional anatomy.<br />
CRIMINAL OFFENDER RECORD INFORMATION AND<br />
SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY INFORMATION CHECKS<br />
As a prerequisite for a clinical placement in the General<br />
Sonography Option, all students must undergo a Criminal<br />
Offender Record Information (CORI) check and a Sex Offender<br />
Registry Information (SORI) check. These checks are required<br />
due to potential unsupervised contact with children, the disabled,<br />
or the elderly during a clinical experience. Students found to<br />
have certain criminal convictions or pending criminal actions<br />
will be presumed ineligible for clinical placement. The <strong>College</strong><br />
is authorized by the Commonwealth’s Department of Criminal<br />
Justice Information Services, pursuant to Massachusetts General<br />
Laws, Chapter 6, Sections 167-178B, to access CORI records. Sex<br />
Offender checks shall be performed pursuant to Massachusetts<br />
General Laws, Chapter 6, Sections 178C-178P.<br />
