Ultrasound Tech Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ultrasound tech in Virginia?
Virginia does not issue a state sonography license, so employers rely on national certification as the primary credential. Complete an accredited diagnostic medical sonography program, then pass the ARDMS or ARRT registry exam in your chosen specialty. Most Virginia hospitals and imaging centers require certification before hire. Community colleges like Northern Virginia Community College and programs at Virginia Western Community College offer accredited pathways for those starting out.
How much do ultrasound teches make in Virginia?
Ultrasound teches in Virginia earn a median of about $95,660 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $77,540 for the lowest 10% to over $122,930 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire ultrasound techs in Virginia?
Employers hiring ultrasound techs in Virginia right now include Valley Health, Augusta Health, and Vibra Travels, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Virginia's large integrated health systems tend to hire across multiple specialties and locations simultaneously, making them reliable sources of full-time openings.
Which Virginia cities have the most ultrasound tech jobs?
South Hill, Winchester, and Fishersville have the most ultrasound tech openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia's concentration of large hospital campuses and outpatient imaging centers drives the volume there, while Richmond and Hampton Roads reflect the regional headquarters of major systems like VCU Health and Sentara Healthcare, which sustain consistent hiring across those metros.
How can I get hired as a ultrasound tech in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-grad sonographer roles or clinical internship programs that large Virginia health systems post alongside their experienced openings. Inova, Sentara, and VCU Health periodically bring on new graduates and offer structured onboarding. Completing a clinical rotation at a Virginia facility during your program helps significantly, as many departments prefer to hire from their own pool of known students. Holding ARDMS certification at the time you apply, even in a single specialty, gives you a clear edge over uncertified candidates.
