Course Audience: primary care physicians, ultrasound technologists
Overview:
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…
