Licensing & Credential Requirements
ARDMS RDCS (Registered Diagnostic Cardiac Sonographer) certification is the standard credential for travel Echo Tech positions. BLS and ACLS certifications are universally required. Most states, including Texas, do not require a separate state license for cardiovascular technologists beyond national certification. However, verify current requirements with the Texas Department of Health before accepting an assignment, as regulations can change. TTE and TEE competency are baseline requirements. Stress echo experience is expected at most facilities. 3D echo experience and strain imaging capability are increasingly requested, especially at academic-affiliated cardiac programs.
