I
was a subscriber to the last version of Vascular-Web. How do I get
my Username and Password to work in the new account?
Go to the Members Link at the top of the page. In the Account
Login page, click on the link to get your password. You will be
asked to enter the SID (Subscriber Identification Number) that was
issued when you received your Username, Password and Course List.
This 5 digit number is your account number. Enter the information
and you will receive a password. Return to the Members Account Login
page and enter your username and the newly issued password. Once
you are into your account management, you can change the password
to one that is convenient for you to remember.
I hope to get my department manager to pay for my subscription
to Vascular-Web. Do you have a discount program if more than one
sonographer signs up?
Yes. We offer group rates when 4 or more sonographers sign up for
Vascular-Web subscriptions. Have your department manager call us
toll free at 1-520-642-1303 for an account executive to help them
in getting your department connected.
How do I make a change in my course list?
Simply call 1-520-642-1303 or email us and we can make
the change for you. Please have your SID number and/or other account
information to speed up the process.
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?
Yes. Vascular-Web has almost all courses approved for the ARDMS
and CCI 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.
Where
can I get the reference materials used in Vascular-Web courses?
Visit our Bookstore
to purchase those on our reference list.
Do
Vascular-Web courses count as credits for college education?
Not at this time. We are looking into methods of bringing quality
education to you with the maximum benefits in preparing for your
career in ultrasound.
I am preparing for my registry exam. Does Vascular-Web offer
a "Registry Prep" course?
Yes. We are completing a series of courses that are aimed at the
RVT and RVS examinations. You will be able to purchase a series
to help you pass the registry exam.
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. Netscape Navigator
operates for Vascular-Web but you might not have the full experience
as with using the IE browser. If you must use Netscape Navigator,
we suggest upgrading to Netscape
Navigator 7.0. A great alternative is the new FireFox browser available from Mozilla.
