As an ultrasound supervisor, your role is to work under the direction of a physician, overseeing the daily operations of the sonography department. You monitor the performance of the technicians in your department, hire and train new employees, guide patients through the sonography process, maintain the staff schedule, and help the senior physician analyze sonography. Since an ultrasound supervisor is a highly experienced sonography technician, you often conduct more complex procedures or assist the other technicians with their scan. You are also responsible for ensuring that the equipment remains in working order.
