"With already having my Bachelor's degree in Medical Diagnostic Imaging, I was able to look at other options than the typical onsite college programs for my ultrasound schooling.  When I came across SMAHE I knew that this would be a great fit to what I was looking for in a program.  Knowing I could do all of my education through an online program was such a relief, and finding a clinical site in my rural area so I didn't have to move my family to another town.  The program was very informative and gave me all of the knowledge needed to be a successful sonographer.  I felt confident in my completion of the program that I would be able to pass my registry board exams, which I did!  I would definitely recommend SMAHE to anyone that is looking for an online program to become a part of the ultrasound industry."

2021 Graduate

"I enrolled in SMAHE in 2000.  Joe was and is an excellent instructor.  He is so knowledgeable and patient!  I worked part time as a Radiologic Technologist during this 18 month program.  Over the last 20 years I have asked Joe questions to help me in my career, he is always so kind in helping me!  I have made a career out fo sonography and enrolling in SMAHE was the best decision I've ever made!  Joe makes this program obtainable to anyone who is motivated and dedicated in learning ultrasound.  I highly recommend this program!"

Amy Stockman, RT(R)(M), RDMS, RVT

The flexibility of this program was extremely helpful to me. As a newly wed I needed work but also wanted to become a sonographer. This program allowed me to do both. I was able to get a job right out of the program and feel like I was adequately prepared for the work force. Joe went above and beyond to help me throughout the program. I would highly recommend SMAHE.

Ashley Means RVS, RDMS(BR), RVT

"As a working mother of three and no local ultrasound programs, becoming a sonographer seemed impossible until I found SMAHE. SMAHE provided a quality education while also allowing me to work around my already busy schedule. The classes were like being  in a classroom without ever having to leave the house. Between the classes and clinical experience I was well prepared to sit for the registries and to begin working after graduation. I became registered by ARDMS and obtained a full time job at a reputable hospital shortly after completing the program. SMAHE was definitely a smart choice for me."

- Heather Woods, RDMS

"Learning ultrasound was a second career for me. Since there was not a school nearby, the online option with SMAHE was invaluable. The instructor was professional, patient and helpful. I passed all four of the registries I took on my first attempt and obtained a job at an acute care hospital within a few months of graduation. I highly recommend SMAHE."

- Mike Fellman, RDMS, RVT

"I really loved the flexibility that this online program offered, allowing me to work and get my clinical time in.  I greatly appreciate Joe's availability to help answer questions I had or explain subject that were difficult one on one. The content of the program was incredibly informative and instructed by Joe in a way that stuck with me as I passed two of my registries the first time I sat for them and had a sonography job before I even graduated the program!"

2014 Vascular Program Graduate

I'm a full time Radiologic Technologist that wanted to cross train into sonography.  SMAHE was exactly what I needed.  When we become responsible adults, it's hard to drop everything and go back to school.  SMAHE made going back to school possible with lectures and assignments I could complete on a schedule that worked for me.  Joe was always available, very helpful and easy to talk to.  The program gave me everything I needed and the confidence to pass my registries.

2018 Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program Graduate

I am currently employed as a full time Sonographer. I feel SMAHE more than prepared me for my current position. SMAHE allowed me to persue my dreams of specializing in sonography. I not only felt prepared, but I was even able to take the Registered vascular specialist exam, offered by CCI, prior to graduating! Completing the registry early made me more marketable to employers. I would highly recommend the SMAHE program to anyone considering sonography as a career.
