Preceptorship in Carotid Ultrasound Interpretation

This intensive 4.5 day program will train the participant to interpret carotid duplex ultrasound examinations through a series of activities, including: didactic lectures, preceptored interpretation sessions with staff physicians of the Cleveland Clinic Noninvasive Vascular Laboratory, hands-on scanning sessions, and review of an extensive library of programmed learning cases with angiographic correlations. By the end of the week, the participant will have interpreted approximately 125 carotid duplex ultrasound examinations. Enrollment will be limited to 5 participants per session to allow for ample opportunity for interaction and direct mentorship from course faculty.
