What our sonographers say: 

“The best part of becoming a sonographer, is the satisfaction it comes with diagnosing patients and possibly saving their lives with early intervention.” 

- Nadira, sonographer, Gleneagles Hospital

“The job isn’t just about scanning, it requires you to have your anatomical and pathological knowledge at your fingertips so when you detect something on the ultrasound you can immediately correlate it to a condition and know what you should do for the patient. And this is precisely what makes the job interesting!” 

- Milly Wang, sonographer, Mount Elizabeth Hospital 

I am passionate about ultrasound because it is operator dependent. Undeniably draining for the mind, but it gives me immense autonomy. I carry the weight of being conscientious and responsible to avoid misses. That makes my job challenging therefore meaningful.” 

- Mignon Sim, sonographer, Mount Elizabeth Hospital
