Get here. Learn It. Practice it. Do it. Serve.
Reading blood in motion.
Build your vascular ultrasound career on the shoulders of the persons who pioneered it and helped frame the standards for it. Vascular ultrasound doesn’t have to feel complicated or overwhelming. In our hands-on, head-to-toe vascular program, you’ll discover just how clear, structured, and confidence-building this field can be when you learn it through a practical, step-by-step approach. From your very first hour, you'll be scanning with purpose—guided by a protocol that makes sense, supported by instructors who stand beside you both in class and long after you head home.
Across four immersive days, you’ll learn a unified, repeatable workflow that applies to carotid, abdominal, and peripheral arterial and venous ultrasound. You’ll see how all vascular exams share the same hemodynamic foundations, and you’ll learn to interpret every finding with both accuracy and clarity. Thousands of clinicians from every specialty have trusted this course to launch or advance their vascular competency—and you’ll soon understand why.
"I Don't Scan Vessels, I Scan People"—Why This Course Matters For You Now
Blood flow is physiology in motion, and static assumptions can mislead. This course matters because it teaches you to apply Doppler and grayscale imaging with intentional technique, interpret flow patterns with physiologic context, and recognize pathology as meaningful deviation rather than incidental noise.
The hands-on format gives you repeated live practice, immediate correction, and the competence to use vascular ultrasound as a dependable component of your clinical decision-making. And if your focus is on the certification exams, this is the definitely the place to prepare your mind.
What Makes This Course Different
Taught as a clinical skill, not a memorized protocol.
Learn why each image and Doppler assessment matters, so you can adapt confidently when anatomy, pathology, or patient condition doesn’t follow the textbook.
Physiology-driven, bedside-ready instruction.
Understand real blood-flow behavior and hemodynamics—not just probe positions—so findings make immediate clinical sense.
Immediate recognition of normal and abnormal flow.
Train your eye to identify waveform patterns quickly, troubleshoot poor signals, and reason through complex vascular findings in real time.
Hands-on scanning with direct faculty guidance.
Small classes keep instructors at the machine with you, offering continuous feedback as you scan on live models—not from across the room.
Repetition that builds instinctive confidence.
Scan repeatedly until technique, pattern recognition, and decision-making become second nature rather than something you have to think through.
Extended access to practice time.
Our scan lab remains open beyond formal class hours, allowing you to refine technique and solidify understanding at your own pace.
Confidence that carries into unfamiliar exams.
Leave prepared to approach new patients, new pathologies, and complex vascular questions with clarity and control.

This aligns seamlessly with point-of-care protocols and modern critical care workflows.
Physicians Preparing for the RPVI Exam
Nothing accelerates RPVI mastery faster than hands-on scanning combined with clear hemodynamic logic. This course gives you the experiential foundation that transforms theory into intuition—instantly improving your waveform interpretation and dramatically shortening your daily reporting time with clearer analytic criteria.
Anesthesiologists & PACU Teams
Understanding sonographic vascular images and flow patterns at the bedside enhances pre-op screening, post-op complication assessment, and targeted anesthesia planning. You’ll learn how to rapidly evaluate perfusion, venous patency, thrombotic risk, and postoperative vascular concerns, improving collaboration with surgical teams and elevating patient safety.
Medical Device & Research Professionals Research, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, Management, Applications, Service Engineers
Hands-on exposure to real vascular imaging challenges unlocks deep insight into how clinicians actually acquire, optimize, and interpret arterial and venous studies. You’ll leave with the practical understanding needed to better design, support, and communicate around vascular devices, software, and instrumentation—with far greater accuracy and credibility.
We Teach the Standards—Your Way
There’s a difference between what we teach and how we teach it. The content never changes—it’s grounded in decades of practice and the standards clinicians rely on. But the delivery must adapt in real time to ensure the content truly sticks. We continually read the room, adjusting moment by moment to each learner’s background, comfort level, and natural way of receiving complex ideas. Every essential concept is presented multiple times, in a variety of ways, so key principles take root quickly and stay with you. Here’s how a typical class may flow.
Day 1
Carotid & Vertebral Arteries
Begin with the complete carotid duplex protocol, learning exactly why each step matters. You’ll master image optimization, artifact recognition, and hemodynamic interpretation while exploring extracranial cerebrovascular disease with clarity and confidence.
Day 2
Lower Extremity Arterial System & TCD
Explore targeted MCA transcranial Doppler and apply carotid principles to the arteries of the legs. You’ll complete native and post-operative arterial protocols and pair duplex with physiologic testing to evaluate limb perfusion with clinical authority.
Day 3
Venous Imaging & Abdominal Vascular Protocols
You’ll perform complete deep and superficial venous exams for DVT and venous insufficiency. Then we expand into abdominal vascular ultrasound—including aorta, IVC, hepatic vasculature, and renal arteries—with diagnostic criteria made understandable and actionable.
Day 4
Upper Extremity Arterial & Venous Exams
Complete duplex protocols for both arterial and venous systems in the upper extremities. We end with focused practice time tailored to your individual interests and application goals.
Throughout the Week
Your on-site Scan Lab remains open around the clock for independent practice—on yourself or with classmates—so your confidence grows with each repetition. Every step, every protocol, and every concept is explained in full detail in your 200-page course notebook, a resource you will return to for the rest of your career. And when you return home, our personal support continues—free and in perpetuity.

Our Approach.
Ultrasound skill is built through guided experience, not passive observation. Instruction centers on live scanning, immediate feedback, and repeated practice—so technique, interpretation, and clinical reasoning develop together.
We teach in tiny groups to allow faculty to adjust instruction in real time, responding to each learner’s background, pace, and questions. Concepts are revisited from multiple angles, with real-world explanations, helping understanding take root quickly and remain reliable under clinical pressure.
The emphasis is not on memorizing images or following rigid protocols, but on learning how to think at the bedside—recognizing patterns, understanding physiology, and making deliberate decisions that translate directly to patient care.
There's no written test—just continuous encouragement and hands-on coaching to help you grow.

About CME Credit
This course does not offer CME credit—by design.
That choice allows us to teach with complete flexibility, adapting instruction to your background, pace, and clinical goals rather than a committee's preset agenda.
Our focus is hands-on skill development, clinical reasoning, and lasting bedside confidence. Many clinicians choose to pair this experience with separate CME activities that align with their own professional requirements. If we can help direct you to such low- or no-cost CEM resources, we'lll be delighted to assist.
