- ARDMS or ARRT certification in a relevant sonography discipline required or strongly preferred
- Associate or bachelor's degree from a CAAHEP-accredited diagnostic medical sonography program
- Hands-on clinical experience with ultrasound equipment in an acute care or outpatient setting

- Ability to perform and document studies independently with minimal physician supervision

Ultrasound Tech Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ultrasound tech in Illinois?
Illinois does not issue a separate state license for ultrasound techs, so the path to employment runs through national certification. Most Illinois employers require completion of a CAAHEP-accredited diagnostic medical sonography program, which typically takes two years at the associate level. Graduates then sit for the ARDMS or ARRT registry exam in their chosen specialty. Earning that credential before applying is the single strongest signal to Illinois hiring managers.
How much do ultrasound teches make in Illinois?
Ultrasound teches in Illinois earn a median of about $100,660 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $78,350 for the lowest 10% to over $122,680 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire ultrasound techs in Illinois?
Employers hiring ultrasound techs in Illinois right now include Duly Health and Care, Voyage Health, and MCWHC, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Illinois's large integrated health systems, including academic medical centers in Chicago and regional anchors downstate, post the most consistent volume of sonography openings.
Which Illinois cities have the most ultrasound tech jobs?
Joliet, Lombard, and Chicago have the most ultrasound tech openings in Illinois. Chicago drives the majority of demand through its concentration of academic medical centers, Level I trauma hospitals, and specialty cardiology and women's health practices, while Rockford and Peoria serve as regional hubs with anchor systems like OSF HealthCare and SwedishAmerican that maintain ongoing sonography staffing needs.
Are there remote ultrasound tech jobs in Illinois?
Yes, but they're rare. Diagnostic sonography is a hands-on, bedside role that requires direct patient contact and real-time image acquisition, so the vast majority of positions are fully on-site. About 0% of ultrasound tech openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of August 2026. The small remote-eligible share typically involves tele-echo reading support or quality assurance review rather than direct scanning duties.
How can I get hired as a ultrasound tech in Illinois with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate sonographer positions at large Illinois health systems, several of which run structured new-grad onboarding cohorts, including Northwestern Medicine, Advocate Health, and OSF HealthCare. Candidates who hold an ARDMS or ARRT credential, even without post-program work history, are competitive for these roles. Lateral moves from echo tech aide, patient care technician, or radiology assistant positions within the same system are another common door in.
Where can I find and apply to ultrasound tech jobs in Illinois?
You can find and apply to ultrasound tech jobs in Illinois on Migrate Mate, which lists current Illinois openings from employers across the state. Search the listings, find roles that fit your specialty and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that match.
