It covers research methodologies, literature review techniques, and ethical considerations while emphasizing safety, efficacy, and well-being. Students will develop critical thinking skills, explore holistic healthcare approaches, and design research projects that contribute to evidence-based ultrasound practices. A capstone project, completed prior to graduation, allows students to apply these skills by conducting research, analyzing findings, and presenting their results. Capstone project topics will be selected. Research topics vary, but may include studies on Multiple Sclerosis, Multiple Myeloma, Diagnostic Ionizing Radiation Exposure, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Prognosis, Benign Tumors, Fat Embolism, Ultrasound and Sleep, Global Cancer Diagnostics, and more with opportunities for additional research as designated by the Program Director.
