Philadelphia, PA, June 28, 2021 --(PR.com)-- A Greater Philadelphia college has received a generous donation aimed to bring much-needed Diagnostic Medical Sonography (Ultrasound) training to the Philadelphia region.

P.I.T. will represent be the only non-hospital-affiliated college in the Philadelphia area and collar counties to offer students the opportunity to earn a personalized, and affordable two-year associate degree in Medical Sonography.
The McLean Contributionship, based in Wayne, PA, supports projects in Greater Philadelphia that enhance the lives of the region’s residents. The new D.M.S. program meets the Contributionship’s goals by “promote[ing] education, or medical, scientific” and “motivate promising young people to assess and develop their talents despite social and economic obstacles.”
