Today, I will talk about the profession "Ultrasound Technologist." The written examination to gain this license includes clinical questions (35 questions including those using photographs; 70 minutes to answer) and basic questions related to ultrasound for medical use (35 questions including those requiring calculation; 70 minutes to answer). The answer to each question is selected from 5 alternatives. The questions used in the examination are not officially disclosed. ⋯ So, clinical questions are being increasingly adopted that cover recent topics in this field. In any event, knowledge covering extensive areas is needed to prepare for the clinical questions. For those who desire to attain the license "ultrasound technologist" despite insufficient clinical experience, the only possible approach may be to read through collections of questions and reference books.
