"I found a second family at Newman. There was a good balance of professionalism on one side, and having fun on the other. The ultrasound program was intense, but it challenged me and taught me discipline. Clinicals really brought everything together, and it’s where I saw that I can actually do this in the real world."
Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Erika Iseman
"I learned a lot about what it really takes to be a medical professional, especially one that is involved in diagnostic imaging. So with sonography, we are the eyes for the radiologist. If we don't see a pathology, they're not gonna see it."
