Ultrasound Technologist Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ultrasound technologist in Georgia?
Georgia does not require a state-issued license for ultrasound technologists, but nearly all employers require national certification through the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) or the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). You must first complete an accredited diagnostic medical sonography program, typically an associate or bachelor's degree. Georgia programs are offered at institutions like Augusta University and Darton State College, and certification must be maintained through continuing education.
How much do ultrasound technologists make in Georgia?
Ultrasound technologists in Georgia earn a median of about $83,250 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $62,120 for the lowest 10% to over $104,930 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire ultrasound technologists in Georgia?
Employers hiring ultrasound technologists in Georgia right now include Voyage Health, Emory Healthcare, and Southeast Georgia Health System, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Georgia's large integrated health systems and growing network of outpatient imaging clinics consistently generate the highest volume of openings across the state.
Which Georgia cities have the most ultrasound technologist jobs?
Atlanta, Brunswick, and Dalton have the most ultrasound technologist openings in Georgia. Atlanta drives the largest share of listings given the concentration of major hospital systems and specialty practices in the metro, while Augusta's presence as a major medical and military healthcare hub and Savannah's expanding regional hospital network account for strong demand outside the capital.
Are there remote ultrasound technologist jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. Ultrasound technology is a hands-on clinical role requiring direct patient contact and on-site equipment, so the vast majority of positions require in-person work. About 0% of ultrasound technologist openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those are almost exclusively in telesonography quality review, education, or clinical leadership roles rather than direct scanning positions.
How can I get hired as a ultrasound technologist in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing an accredited sonography program and applying for new-graduate positions at large Georgia health systems like Piedmont Healthcare or Emory Healthcare, both of which periodically run structured onboarding programs for early-career sonographers. Candidates coming from adjacent roles such as radiologic technologist or patient care technician often move into ultrasound more easily. Holding an ARDMS registry in even one specialty, such as abdomen or OB/GYN, gives candidates a meaningful edge when competing for entry-level openings.
Where can I find and apply to ultrasound technologist jobs in Georgia?
You can find and apply to ultrasound technologist jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Georgia openings from employers across the state. Find roles that fit your specialty and experience level and apply directly to the ones that match.
