A candidate must perform a total of 200 breast sonography patient examinations, which may not be simulated. A bilateral examination is equivalent of two breast examinations

This includes: fluid aspiration, needle core biopsy, vacuum-assisted core biopsy,  clip placement, or pre-op needle localization. Any combination that adds up to 20 is acceptable. For example, a candidate may participate in 20 core biopsies; or a candidate may participate in 10 core biopsies, six clip placements, and four needle localizations.

Does your program include clinical experience or do we have to procure our own site to gain experience?

The Mammography Educators program does not include clinical work. However, from our experience employers are generally very happy to help their team members cross train and broaden their skills. It’s a huge value add for the employer.
