    Associate of Applied Science Programs in Medical Studies

    Associate degrees are a two-year path of study designed to give students a specialized and foundational understanding of a specific field. An associate’s degree will allow students to gain employment in their field of study without the need of a bachelor’s degree. Credit gained from a degree can generally be used toward continuing professional development.

    What is an Associate of Applied Science in Medicine? These programs prepare students for a career working with patients in a medical setting. Students will typically gain an in-depth knowledge of human anatomy, and they will use that knowledge to work with medical equipment that will aid in diagnosing patients and recognizing abnormalities in anatomy. Students will often learn hands-on knowledge of how to use medical equipment to take measurements, capture images and make calculations and evaluations in correlation with a patient’s medical history.

    An associate degree in medicine develops technical skills in a highly specialized, well-paid and rewarding field. Graduates will become part of a team that works together to improve the lives of patients. The skills attained are highly sought after, and those who are registered with degrees are able to gain employment immediately upon graduation.

    Individual costs vary. Before selecting a program, it is important that those interested in obtaining a degree contact participating schools to determine the costs, focus and duration of individual programs to find one suited to their needs.

    With an associate degree in medicine you will be qualified for work as a sonographer in diagnostics or an ultrasound technologist. Upon graduation, you will have the opportunity to work in a general capacity or may choose to specialize in a more targeted area such as gynecology, mammography, cardiology, intervention, ophthalmology to name a few. Most graduates work within a hospital, although there are several opportunities in diagnostic clinics and doctor’s offices as well.
