The College of New Caledonia’s Sonography Program is inviting CNC staff and students to
participate as volunteer patients in an upcoming mock clinic simulation.
This hands-on learning experience allows sonography students to practice their skills in a
supervised environment while offering volunteers a unique opportunity to see their own
anatomy through ultrasound imaging.
Volunteer dates
- May 4-7, 2026
- June 1-4, 2026
Volunteers are asked to commit one to two hours and are welcome to participate more
than once.
What to expect
During the session, a small handheld device called a transducer is placed on the body to
capture images of internal structures using sound waves. A cool, water-based gel is
applied to help produce clear images.
Ultrasound is:
- Safe and non-invasive
- Free of radiation
- Commonly used to view organs and blood flow
Exams may include imaging of the:
- Abdomen
- Heart
- Pelvis (uterus and ovaries)
- Kidneys and bladder
- Blood vessels (neck arteries or leg veins)
- Some exams may require simple preparation, such as fasting or arriving with a full bladder
All sessions will follow appropriate PPE and safety protocols.
Why Participate?
- Support hands-on learning for CNC sonography students
- Experience a real clinical simulation environment
- See your own anatomy in real time
- Contribute to interprofessional collaboration across health programs
