Local student completes sonography program

Misericordia University recently recognized the 13th graduating class from the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Certificate Program during its annual certificate presentation ceremony.

Fifteen students completed the rigorous 18-month academic program, which includes classroom and clinical instruction. The sonography program - more commonly referred to as ultrasound - is for adult or nontraditional learners who possess the necessary prerequisites.

Alison Beltz, of Slatington, was honored at the annual completion dinner.
