  DIAGNOSTIC MEDICAL SONOGRAPHY

  Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ultrasound) is a medical technology using highly sophisticated, computer driven imaging devices to produce dynamic multi-dimensional visual images of organs, tissue and blood flow. As a radiation-free medical imaging modality, it provides important clinical information for the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Sonographers are part of a medical team, which includes physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals who provide essential clinical information that is used to plan treatment and care for patients. There are several areas of specialization in the field of sonography which include obstetrics/gynecology, abdomen, echocardiography, breast and pediatric sonography. This technically challenging, patient focused field demands that sonographers demonstrate a high level of decision making, diagnostic responsibility and critical thinking skills. Sonographers have extensive direct patient contact which includes performing invasive procedures. They are expected to be both technically competent and compassionate while effectively dealing with patients who may range from very healthy to critically ill.

  EMT

  The EMT-Basic Program is designed to place qualified students who have not yet received their EMT certification on a direct path to become a Paramedic by first becoming an EMT. The program prepares students for their EMT-B New York State Practical and Written Exam, while simultaneously gaining valuable work experience as an EMT at affiliated clinical sites. Students are required to complete 250+ hours of rotations while in the EMT-Basic Program. Upon successful completion of the EMT program and by meeting the necessary requirements, graduates of CAHE's EMT Program gain acceptance into CAHE's 12-month Paramedic course.

  RADIATION THERAPY

  Radiation Therapy, one of the most sophisticated tools of modern medicine, plays a major role in the treatment of cancer. Over 50% of all cancer patients receive radiation therapy at some point during their treatment, and more than half of all radiotherapy patients are considered to be potentially curable.

  RADIOGRAPHY

  A rewarding career in healthcare awaits those who choose radiology as a profession. Radiographers, or radiologic technologists, have completed special training to produce images of organs, limbs and other parts of the body that doctors then use to diagnose and determine treatment plans for disease and injuries. Careers in radiography have become more and more diverse as the field of radiology has evolved from the discovery of the x-ray to complex and sophisticated scanning methods like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). As the technology has expanded, there has been an increasing need for highly trained men and women to fill the varied positions available to radiologic technologists.
