Description

Society for Vascular Medicine: A Comprehensive Overview of Vascular Ultrasound Interpretation and Registration Preparation (Course) 2023

This online CME course consists of 40 lectures that will introduce you to all aspects of noninvasive vascular testing. Extensive case study material and over 100 registration-like exam questions help noninvasive vascular laboratory staff prepare for the RPVI exam and meet continuing medical education requirements for IAC vascular testing. Nationally renowned speakers provide in-depth content on vascular laboratory operations and ergonomics, as well as valuable insights into:

Imaging methods (grayscale, color and spectral Doppler, physiological tests)

Various testing protocols and diagnostic criteria

Multiple common and rare vascular lesions

Fundamentals of Vascular Physics

Quality Improvement and Patient Safety

and more…
