Cardiovascular Program

Cardiovascular Program

The Cardiovascular Program is offered to train students who are interested in majoring in cardiac ultrasound with a minor in vascular ultrasound. Today’s cardiologists also perform some vascular studies; therefore, being able to perform the basic vascular exams makes you more attractive to cardiology groups and clinics.

The first year of the program focuses on patient care, medical terminology, and cardiac training. The last two quarters are devoted to vascular didactic, scan lab training, clinical externship, and preparing for the certification exams, the registry. The student is required to take the registry with ARDMS in cardiac in the 4^th quarter of the cardiac program. Upon completion of cardiovascular program, the student will be eligible to apply to take the vascular registry if he or she is registered with ARDMS in cardiac.
