Objective
Vascular ultrasound is a rapidly developing modality in vascular surgery. The objective with this course is to make the participants able to perform some of the most basic vascular ultrasoundexaminations: abdominal aorta, femoral arteries, peripheral bypasses, basic carotid ultrasound, deep venous thromboses and varicose veins.
Participants will have the opportunity to practice their skills under supervision during the course. This course corresponds to the curriculum of the theoretical part of EFSUMB Level 1 in Vascular Ultrasound (European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology). Online quizzes and tests will be conducted regularly during the course and the faculty underlines that attendance in the entire course is mandatory in order to receive course certificate and CME points.
Participants’ qualifications
The course is designed for vascular surgeons, vascular surgeons in training and vascular nurses and technologist. No prior ultrasound experience is required but basic knowledge to vascular anatomy and physiology is expected.
CME-points
ESVS will apply the CME committee of UEMS for CME-points.
