Richmond/Emerywood Campus – As-
sociate of Applied Science degree in
Diagnostic Medical Sonography.
The
program’s classroom curriculum is sup-
ported by a hands-on, interactive learning
environment, covering such areas as:
• Ultrasound equipment operations and
quality control
• Sonographic principles of the abdo-
men, obstetrics and gynecology,
breast and other superficial structures,
invasive procedures, neonatal, trauma,
and an introduction to vascular Sonog-
raphy
• Cross-sectional anatomy, physiology
and pathophysiology
According to the U.S. Department of Labor,
imaging technology is expected to evolve
rapidly, spawning many new Sonography
procedures that will allow sonographers to
scan and image areas of the body where
ultrasound has not traditionally been used.
As a result, the government projects that
employment of diagnostic medical sonog-
raphers will grow by 44 percent between
2010 and 2020, much faster than the aver-
age for all occupations.

Northern Virginia Campus – Associate
of Applied Science degree in Health
Science – Medical Radiography.
The
program is designed to prepare graduates
in radiographic procedures and principles,
including:
• Positioning, anatomy, and technical
factor adjustments
• Image production and evaluation
• Equipment operation and quality con-
trol
• Radiation biology and protection
• Patient care and education including
infection control, physical assistance
and transfer, medical emergencies,
and radiographic contrast media
According to the U.S. Department of Labor,
employment of radiologic technologists is
expected to grow by 28 percent between
2010 and 2020. And as the population
grows and ages, demand for diagnostic
imaging is projected to increase.
New Programs on Campus
W
hen injured veterans return home
seeking to rebuild their lives, they
turn to the Veterans Administration (VA)
which, in turn, relies on community part-
ners to help make the process as pain-
less as possible, whether it’s returning to
military service or transitioning to civilian
life. In Richmond, Virginia, one of those
partners is ECPI University.
Through the Servicemember Transitional
Advanced Rehabilitation (STAR) Program,
faculty and staff from the Richmond/
Moorefield campus help VA profession-
als assess skill levels and recommend
corrective action. The program provides
comprehensive vocational rehabilita-
tion services with a special emphasis on
obtaining meaningful and satisfying work
that can lead to a successful career path.
One of ECPI’s participating faculty mem-
bers is Network Security Program Direc-
tor Kenneth King, a retired Army Colonel
with 32 years of service. “When the VA
first approached us, I couldn’t wait to get
involved,” says King. “We jump every time
they call because it’s just the right thing to
do, to give back.”
“I have been so impressed with ECPI Uni-
versity’s level of commitment to assist ac-
tive duty service members and veterans,
and I was pleasantly surprised to learn
that the campus president and several
other staff members are military veterans,”
says VA Vocational Rehabilitation Coun-
selor Cynthia Young. “We are so grateful
to ECPI University for partnering with the
STAR Program and helping military service
members prepare for their futures.”
