Bachelor of Echocardiography (Cardiac Physiology)/GradDip Echocardiography

The Bachelor of Echocardiography and Cardiac Physiology/Graduate Diploma of Echocardiography is the first Australian course allowing undergraduate entry to this growing field within diagnostic medical imaging.

This course will enable you to apply knowledge, skills and professional behaviours appropriate to a career in cardiac physiology, cardiac science and echocardiography.

You will build a high level of practical skill and data / image evaluation so you can assess patients and evaluate their findings in a safe and effective manner. There is an emphasis on high level communication skills so that you can interact positively with patients and other health professionals in the clinical environment. Clinical decision making and problem-solving ability will be promoted through the use of simulation-based learning techniques and exposure to 'real world' conditions while on clinical practice.

Domestic graduates can seek registration as ‘Echocardiographers (Cardiac Sonographers)’ as recognised by the accreditation body and/or seek international recognition by sitting European, British or American qualification exams.
