Hands-On Vascular Ultrasound Arterial & Venous Imaging & Doppler Course Est. 1978

We'll build with you the mental and tactile tools to perform vascular ultrasound with authority—capturing the images, Doppler data, and interpretive markers that surgeons, vascular medicine specialists, and interventional teams actually depend on.

You'll appreciate how this Course focuses on You:

  • You’ll finally see vascular ultrasound organized into a clear, step-by-step structure—making sense of what is normally taught as a maze of unrelated tests.

  • Instead of memorizing anatomy and waveforms, you’ll learn the logic behind blood flow, pressure gradients, and hemodynamics—so every image and Doppler signal has purpose.

  • Hands-on scanning replaces passive watching, giving you repeated practice on real anatomy with expert guidance at your shoulder, not across a lecture hall.

  • Complex arterial and venous exams are broken down into repeatable bedside protocols you can use the day you return in the clinic, lab, or OR.- and they're all documented in your own 125-page reference manual.

  • You’ll build confidence not only in what to record, but how to interpret it—understanding what the vascular surgeon, cardiologist, or interventionalist is actually looking for.

Hands-On Abdominal Ultrasound Imaging & Doppler Course Est. 1989

We'll equip you with the skills, speed, and clinical reasoning to perform abdominal studies with confidence—so the images you produce answer questions, not create more of them. With your hands on the probe, we'll show you exactly what to scan, what to document, and how to make every image clinically meaningful. You’ll leave with a complete, proven protocol for abdominal imaging—plus the lifelong mentoring to keep growing long after class ends.

You'll appreciate how this Course focuses on You:

  • You’ll finally learn abdominal ultrasound the way it makes sense—organ by organ, with a clear bedside protocol instead of disconnected images and trivia.

  • Hands-on scanning starts right away, so you’re not just watching someone else scan—you’re learning by doing, with expert guidance at your shoulder.

  • You’ll understand why each view, measurement, and Doppler sweep matters clinically, not just how to get the image.

  • Complex anatomy becomes manageable when you see it on real patients in real time, instead of only in textbooks or static diagrams.

  • You’ll leave knowing how to produce a complete, defensible abdominal study that answers real diagnostic questions—not just fills in worksheet blanks... and your own 130-page reference manual will serve you for life..
