Clinical Approach to Vascular Ultrasound and RPVI Prep Course

118 views Tags: CME

Expert Vascular Surgery and Vascular Medicine CME

Designed to help you establish a strong foundation in both performance and interpretation of vascular ultrasound, this online CME program was 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 esteemed faculty from Stanford University Hospital, University of Colorado, and Johns Hopkins Hospital.

The Clinical Approach to Vascular Ultrasound and RPVI Prep Course delivers practical examples and case presentations that will enhance your ability to apply knowledge in patient situations. Online continuing medical education lecture topics include:

  • Fundamental lower extremity physiologic and imaging studies used to diagnose and treat peripheral artery disease
  • Normal and abnormal anatomy and imaging of the subclavian and vertebral arteries
  • Techniques and indications used to predict impending bypass graft failure
  • General overview for diagnosing and characterizing deep vein thrombosis, pelvic congestions syndrome, May-Thurner syndrome and venous thoracic outlet syndrome
  • Dynamic TCD studies and their resulting surgical interventions and follow-ups
  • and more…

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

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 including dialysis grafts, endovascular interventions in the aorta and peripheral system, and bypass grafts
  • Summarize basic ultrasound physics and ultrasound technology as it applies to vascular diagnostics
  • Review topics commonly found on the Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) exam
  • Develop and implement a vascular laboratory program at their home institution
