Comprehensive Vascular Ultrasound Training and RPVI Exam Preparation

Harvard Clinical Approach to Vascular Ultrasound and RPVI Prep Course 2026 provides a practical and comprehensive review of vascular ultrasound performance, interpretation, and laboratory management. Developed by vascular ultrasound experts from Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Stanford University, the University of Colorado, and Johns Hopkins Hospital, this course combines foundational principles with real-world clinical applications.

Through focused lectures and case-based learning, participants will strengthen their understanding of arterial and venous vascular studies, cerebrovascular imaging, abdominal vascular diagnostics, ultrasound physics, and velocity criteria for vascular disease assessment. The program is also designed to help physicians prepare for the Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) examination while providing practical guidance for developing and managing a vascular laboratory program.

* Original Release Date: June 5–6, 2026

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 vascular stenosis, bypass grafts, dialysis access, and endovascular interventions
  • Summarize the principles of ultrasound physics and vascular ultrasound technology
  • Review high-yield topics commonly tested on the Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) examination
  • Develop and implement a vascular laboratory program within their own institution
