CNC Sonography Program seeks volunteer patients for "Mock Clinic" simulation
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
How to sign up
Appointments are available Monday to Thursday, 9:00am-12:15pm
