Program Overview
Go with the leader in allied health training since 1947, at Carnegie Institute in Michigan.
Our online and practical application classes (hybrid training) provide thorough, comprehensive education and working knowledge of required skills and competencies. Develop confidence in small class sizes, one-on-one instruction, and competent, experienced faculty. Find out why medical employers depend on Carnegie graduates.
AOS Vascular Technology students are trained in the performance of non-invasive ultrasound testing procedures. These vascular studies provide essential information regarding the blood supply to and from the tissues of the brain, extremities, and other vital organs and indicate the degree and character of any obstruction.
Non-invasive vascular testing and diagnostic imaging can critically diagnose cerebrocardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, and blood clots. Complications related to diabetes and the prevention and treatment of stroke are also explored.

What to expect as a Carnegie Institute student
Clinical & Externship Rotation
The clinical/externship rotation is an integral part of the training program. Eligible students are assigned to the school-approved clinical sites by the Program Director. Students will maintain this rotation until all required hours have been completed within the allotted time frame. Site visits to hospitals are conducted regularly by the school clinical site coordinator to assess the student’s satisfactory progress.
Due to the technical nature of this program, students must have prior allied health training, recent clinical work experience, and college credits in anatomy & physiology, math, and science.
