Experience the Comprehensive Vascular Interpretation & RPVI Registry Review Online Course
Our Vascular Interpretation & RPVI Registry Review Online Course offers an all-inclusive review tailored for individuals preparing to undertake The Alliance for Physician Certification and Advancement (APCA) Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) Certification Exam. This credential is essential to qualify for the American Board of Surgery’s Vascular Surgery Qualifying Examination. Presented in a modular, interactive format, the online course features expert faculty delivering comprehensive lectures covering diverse concepts that enhance vascular imaging interpretation and deepen comprehension of diagnostic criteria. Topics encompass Physics, Carotid Imaging, TCD Exams, Abdominal Aorta & Endograft Imaging, Abdominal Visceral Duplex, Peripheral Arterial Testing (Direct & Indirect), Peripheral Venous Testing (including insufficiency), QA, Safety & Bioeffects. The course integrates 135 interactive case presentations and maintains a log of completed cases, where 100 can fulfill the APCA Clinical Vascular Ultrasound Experience prerequisite. Moreover, the online course comprises four mock examinations to replicate the certification exam experience.
Course Objectives:
Elevate participants’ knowledge and competence to execute/interpret vascular ultrasound exams or confidently take the RPVI certification exam.
Analyze Doppler/Color physics factors influencing optimal Doppler exams and typical Doppler/Color artifacts affecting diagnostic precision.
Identify normal/abnormal imaging, spectral Doppler, and Color Doppler findings associated with carotid, peripheral arterial, and venous diseases.
Understand the role of indirect testing in assessing lower extremity arterial disease.
Apply diagnostic criteria for evaluating carotid, peripheral venous, and arterial diseases.
