Clinical Approach to Vascular Ultrasound and RPVI Prep Course 2023

The Clinical Approach to Vascular Ultrasound and RPVI Prep Course is an online CME program designed to improve your skills in both performance and interpretation of vascular ultrasound. Developed in conjunction with the medical and technical directors of the vascular labs at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, as well as notable faculty from Stanford University Hospital, University of Colorado, and Johns Hopkins Hospital, this course will provide you with practical examples and case presentations to enhance your ability to apply knowledge in patient situations.

The lectures cover a range of topics, including fundamental lower extremity physiologic and imaging studies used to diagnose and treat peripheral artery disease, techniques and indications used to predict impending bypass graft failure, and a general overview for diagnosing and characterizing deep vein thrombosis, pelvic congestions syndrome, May-Thurner syndrome, and venous thoracic outlet syndrome. The course also includes dynamic TCD studies and their resulting surgical interventions and follow-ups.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to demonstrate clinical interpretation of arterial and venous vascular noninvasive studies in the peripheral, cerebrovascular, and abdominal systems, discuss the clinical application of velocity criteria for grading of stenosis in the vasculature, and summarize basic ultrasound physics and ultrasound technology as it applies to vascular diagnostics. Additionally, this course will review topics commonly found on the Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) exam and provide attendees with the tools to develop and implement a vascular laboratory program at their home institution.

The course’s intended audience is primary care physicians and specialty physicians, including ultrasound technologists, general and specialty surgeons, practitioners preparing for the RPVI, and practitioners who wish to start a vascular lab.

The Clinical Approach to Vascular Ultrasound and RPVI Prep Course will be hosted by renowned speakers, including Traci B. Fox, EdD, RT(R), RDMS, RVT, Scott Manchester, BS, MS, RVT, Nikolaos Zacharias, MD, MPH, Cory Finn, MHA, RDMS, RVT, and others. The speakers will cover a range of topics, from basics of physics in vascular imaging to peripheral arterial studies – lower to venous case presentations.

This course will not only provide you with knowledge on vascular ultrasound and RPVI prep, but it will also give you the tools to develop and implement a vascular laboratory program at your institution.
