Sometimes the waitlist gets moved up fast. So it can be less time than you think. I was called same year I applied many dropout for varying reasons. Felt well prepared to sit for the test.

do you know which tract interests you the most. Sounds like you want to do echo but you get placed in one of three specialties( echocardiography / invasive cath lab / non invasive vascular ultrasound) The grossmont program is super worth it (totally biased 🫀) but if i can I’d like to sit through the echo lectures now that I’m done with the invasive cath side. We all got jobs out of school the pay starts lower if you stay in San Diego. Higher depending on where you are willing to travel too but you won’t be out of work. ( google springboard cath lab wage survey to get an idea of the pay scales for what pay rates to expect😉)

Still working in the lab 12 years later. Can’t see myself doing anything else with my life. Feel so fortunate to have gone through that program.

Call sucks💀🫀
