Job Summary

Sarasota Memorial Hospital Cardiovascular Training Program

The Sarasota Memorial Cardiovascular Training Program offers two cardiovascular academic training programs, one in Adult Cardiac Sonography and one in Invasive Cardiovascular Technology. Students may enter only one of the programs as they run concurrently. Both programs are approximately 13 months in duration, beginning and ending in the early fall. The programs include a didactic, hands-on laboratory, and clinical sequence. Both programs are non-degree-granting and provide certificate-level education. The programs are based on clock hours.

The Cardiovascular Training Program’s goals and objectives are to prepare competent entry-level cardiac sonographers and invasive cardiovascular professionals. We focus on the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains, ensuring our graduates are well-prepared for the cardiac sonography or invasive cardiovascular technology professions. Students will have the minimum skills, knowledge, and competencies to sit for registry exams in their field of study. Additionally, our students play a crucial role in promoting patient safety, diagnosis, and recovery by working effectively with other allied healthcare professionals, medical staff, patients, and families.

The Adult Cardiac Sonography Program is affiliated with the Cardiovascular Diagnostic Services (CVD) department at Sarasota Memorial Hospital – Sarasota Campus. Their Echocardiography and Vascular labs led SMH to be one of only four hospitals in Florida to achieve accreditation in Adult Echo, Adult TEE, Pediatric Echo, and Vascular Ultrasound from the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC). The CVD department also houses the system’s Cardio-Oncology Program, which received a Center of Excellence Silver Designation from the International Cardio-Oncology Society from 2022-2025. Cardiac sonographers in this department can specialize in structural heart procedures, cardio-oncology, and pediatric/congenital echocardiography. There are plans to expand the Adult Cardiac Sonography Program to SMH-Venice in the future.

  • Identify and treat blockages in the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle.
  • Identify and treat electrical abnormalities of the cardiovascular system.
  • Replace cardiac valves without requiring open heart surgery.
