The Cardiovascular Technologist program is a 2-year comprehensive program that will take you on a healthcare journey that includes didactic, laboratory, and clinical experience. A cardiovascular technologist specializes in cardiac (heart) sonography and peripheral vascular (blood vessels) sonography. They use medical imaging methods like ultrasounds to diagnose heart conditions, vascular problems, or ailments that involve the heart, it’s arteries, valves, or blood vessels.

The program's objective is to provide the required knowledge and skills to students to become successful Cardiovascular Technologists in the future. At the end of the program, the student will be scheduled for a clinical externship where he/she can gain hands-on experience in a physician’s office, hospital, or imaging centers under the supervision and control of the American Institute of Healthcare & Technology (AIHT), overseen by a designated site supervisor. Externships allow students to develop skills and allows them to make connections with working professionals. AIHT has clinical affiliations with numerous healthcare facilities where students will be placed at one or more of these affiliated sites and must complete their clinical hours based on the school's schedule.
