Hello to any and all readers. I am in school to become an Ultrasound Technician and I have recently been given an assignment where I need to write a research paper on a particular issue or problem often experienced by ultrasound tech's. We are supposed to interview people in the field and are allowed to do it online which is an esp. great option so I can get many different opinions. If any of you could take the time to answer the few questions I've listed below I would be SOOOOO appreciative! If you would rather reach me by personal email mine is holjon19@yahoo.com. If you'd title it US TECH it'd be great. Thank you ahead of time to any and all responders. You are greatly helping a newbie to the field out!

1) What problems do you see most often in your job on a day to day basis?
2) What surprised you the most when you started as an ultrasound technician?
3) What are you suggestions or thoughts on how to help solve these problems?
4) Are bariatric patients or patients with disabilities often complications in the field?
5) Are HIPAA violations frequent problems?
6) Have you seen an influx of patients with the baby boomer generation entering retirement age?
7) What steps are your employers taking to try and correct any and all problems?
8) If you could change one thing about your job what would it be?
9) What is your favorite part of your job as an ultrasound tech?
10) Is there anything else you would like to share about yourself or your experience as an ultrasound tech? A particular story or time that was meaningful to you or stands out in your mind?

Again, thank you and I hope some of you can help a student ultrasound tech out!

Ask your instructor about job outlook. Follow these forums and see how many sonographers are out of work. How many sonographers who graduated and have never found a job? Sorry, just venting, but these are questions you need to ask, too.
