Target Audience
Physicians who have attended either of the following Gulfcoast Ultrasound courses: 1) Introduction to Carotid/Peripheral Vascular Duplex/Color Flow Imaging (combined course) or 2) Vascular Ultrasound Interpretation. At the discretion of Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute, participants may alternatively submit certificate(s) from similarly structured courses as a means of meeting admission requirements. This course is not meant for physicians who are just beginning to interpret vascular ultrasound studies, but for those physicians wishing to accumulate additional cases through a “double-read” program, or enhance interpretation skills.
