The clinical and lab components of the sonography program will involve students using ultrasound equipment to scan each other to learn and practice scanning techniques. These ultrasound images are limited and are not intended for diagnostic purposes. The scans will not be interpreted by a physician, and the scans remain the property of MCHP.
The faculty and students will not fully evaluate the exam and make no representations that the volunteer is receiving any medical diagnosis or treatment. If a student or faculty member suspects an abnormality has been identified, it is the volunteer's responsibility to follow up with their healthcare provider. The simulated scan is for educational purposes only, and personally identifiable information and medical information will be kept confidential.
All human subjects used for clinical practice will complete a consent form before acting as a volunteer subject.
