sorry just remembered another question.
do i pick a type of ultrasounds that i want to do like the Gynecologic Ultrasound or am i going to have to do all of them like the Abdominal Ultrasounds or Breast Ultrasounds.

you have to go to a program. And some states are requiring all health care professionals to have atleast an AS degee so if possible go to a program offering a degree. There are some online programs... I dont know how that would work ( i personaly would not allow an online student into my site for clinical purposes).

It would be very difficult to find a job that scans pelvics only. I would say cardiac would be the best bet if you are only wanting to look at one structure all day.

let me elaborate a bit! There are three main categories of US- general (which includes abdominal, gyn/ob, small parts). Vascular ( all venous and arterial thought the body). And echo which is the heart. With my experience- in a day I would do one gyn, 3 ob, 4 abd, 4 small parts. So unless you worked for an obgyn I'd would be hard to have the population to do all pelvics all day long. Hope this helps
