Explore Non-invasive Vascular Testing
This online CME program — developed in partnership with the Society for Vascular Medicine — spans 30+ lectures that will expose you to all aspects of non-invasive testing. Abundant case study materials and over 100 registry-type exam questions will help those who work within the non-invasive vascular laboratory to prepare for the RPVI examination. It's a continuing medical education program that provides valuable insight on:
- Imaging techniques (B-mode, color and spectral Doppler, physiological testing)
- Various testing protocols and diagnostic criteria
- A broad range of vascular pathology, both common and rare
- Fundamentals of vascular physics
- Quality improvement and patient safety

Comprehensive Review and Update of What’s New in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery is an extensive review of vital topics in vascular surgery. This CME course focuses on four major pillars of vascular surgery—conventional open operations, catheter based intervention, the medical aspect of patient management, diagnostic imaging and noninvasive testing. It will help you to:
- Define indications, technique, and results of open vascular operations including carotid endarterectomy, repair of AAA, aorto-femoral bypass, and infra-inguinal bypass
- Illustrate adept management of varicose veins and deep venous occlusive disease
- Describe indications, technique, and results of catheter based intervention including endovascular repair of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm, aorto-iliac and femoral-popliteal-tibial occlusive disease, and carotid artery stenting
- Modify management of vascular diseases including hypertension, risk factor modification, the use of anti-platelet, anti-coagulant, and statin therapy
- Accurately interpret diagnostic studies including duplex ultrasound, magnetic resonance angiography, CT angiography, and catheter based contrast angiography
This CME program from Johns Hopkins — the leader in perioperative medicine — focuses on current and concise knowledge to improve patient outcomes through preoperative evaluation, intraoperative management, and postoperative care.

It will also help you to better:
- Illustrate effective management of bleeding and thrombotic risks in surgical patients
- Identify strategies for controlling postoperative pain and reducing opioid dependency
- Outline ways to prevent, diagnose and treat common infections that complicate surgical procedures
- Discuss multi-disciplinary approaches to minimize complications and improve patient outcomes

The General Surgery Written Review is a five-day program consisting of didactic lectures (with searchable e-syllabus containing all PowerPoint® presentations), Q&A time at the end of each topic, and an optional Q&A session at the end of the day. This inclusive review is designed to update your clinical knowledge base as well as to help you pass your General Surgery exams. Emphasis is on evidence-based medicine and board-relevant standards of care, incorporating current best practice methods, surgical approaches, and clinical follow-up techniques. As a result, it provides a good review for your in-service or qualifying exams as well as providing a thorough general surgery review for practicing physicians Many of our previous participants found the course provided them with improved diagnostic and planning strategies, a better understanding of the best surgical approaches for the principle areas covered by general surgeons, and helped them recognize areas of weakness for further self-study.
