I need more CME than the open courses shown in the course catalog. How can I get my credits?
Vascular-Web is constantly in development of more courses. We develop each course to meet and exceed the requirements for receiving Continuing Education Credits. We work closely with the Society of Vascular Ultrasound in preparing each course.

Do Vascular-Web courses go towards keeping my registry requirements?

Can Vascular-Web courses count for my CME requirements for taking the ARDMS exam?
Yes. Vascular-Web CME are approved for the 30 credit education requirement for the ARDMS examination.

How are Vascular-Web courses different from using a book?
Vascular-Web courses are developed with both content and presentation in mind. We strive to include interactivity in presenting the course material because this increases retention of the content.

What do I do if I do not pass the post-test?
Vascular-Web is set up for you to be able to retake the test as many times as it takes to pass it. You must note, however, that the test form is reset when you return and the answers are cleared. This is to meet the approving organization's requirement and to encourage the benefits of learning the material.

Once I pass a post-test, can I re-enter my courses to help me refresh my memory?
Yes. We leave the courses accessible for 60 days to allow you to re-enter and review the material. This is a great benefit if you are preparing for a registry exam.

How are Vascular-Web courses developed?
We review topics that are found in the Registry Exam Matrix for both the ARDMS and CCI registries. Courses are developed to convey an understanding of the materials. Other courses are developed from new areas of technology impacting the field or basic information needed in order to progress to the level of clinical Vascular sonographer.

Does Vascular-Web offer CDROMS for learning Vascular Ultrasound?
Not yet. We are looking into many ways of providing computer based training for the budding vascular sonographer.

I don't see a menu in my browser. What do I do?
Vascular-Web uses Macromedia Flash for navigation and for interactive teaching modules. We recommend upgrading your browser to Internet Explorer 6 which includes the Flash plugin.
