VASCULAR ULTRASOUND: AN INTENSIVE REVIEW

VASCULAR ULTRASOUND: AN INTENSIVE REVIEW ( 5 DVD VIDEO )
 

Vascular Ultrasound: An Intensive Review is a 15 hour program conducted by Dr. Joseph Polak and Dr. John Pellerito. It is designed to cover all the important areas of vascular ultrasound evaluation – carotid, peripheral and abdominal applications – with lectures and extensive case-based illustrations. This is the third edition of our most popular DVD course!

Your package includes the program, reproduced from high resolution masters, the program syllabus in electronic form (online, USB drive and IPad/Android app) and CME certification for 1 user. Your colleagues may purchase Additional User Packages if they would like to obtain their own CME. The syllabus is also available in hard copy.

Vascular Ultrasound: An Intensive Review is also an excellent way to help prepare for the RPVI and RVT exams.
