Question

What is the Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS) career outlook?

Answer

According to BLS.gov, the Diagnostic Medical Sonography job field from 2022 to 2032 is estimated to grow by 10%. As the large baby-boom population ages, the need to diagnose medical conditions, such as blood clots and heart disease, will increase and imaging technology is a tool used in making these diagnoses.
