Some people's favorite aspect of the job is the technical side. They love learning about how to use and maintain equipment to help people. Others enjoy talking with patients and getting to know them. The social and technological aspects of the job make this an excellent fit for someone who is both analytical and a people person. Talk about what you enjoy about chatting with patients. While performing the sonogram, you can calm nervous patients, ask happy expecting mothers how their pregnancy is going, and make the experience an overall pleasant experience for everyone.

I try to learn a little about them to help make them comfortable in our situation together, which puts them at ease."

"I do enjoy socializing with patients. There is always a place and a time, and I always keep it professional. I try to make small talk when appropriate, and I also try to educate the patient on the procedure that I am performing. Most of the time, patients are in awe of the technology involved, which keeps them focused while I perform the exam."
