Pegasus Lectures RPVI Vascular Specialty Review 2022

Comprehensive RPVI Exam Preparation Course

Pegasus Lectures RPVI Vascular Specialty Review 2022 is a comprehensive board-review program specifically designed to prepare healthcare professionals for the Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) examination. Developed in collaboration with the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) and the Society for Vascular Ultrasound (SVU), this course delivers a focused, high-yield review of vascular ultrasound interpretation, vascular laboratory principles, hemodynamics, and noninvasive vascular diagnostic testing.

The program combines vascular physics fundamentals with detailed vascular specialty modules, providing an efficient and structured approach to mastering the knowledge required for RPVI certification and daily vascular practice.

Course Overview

This comprehensive eCourse offers an extensive yet concise review of all major topics tested on the RPVI examination. Through modular video lectures, interactive learning tools, case-based discussions, and companion study materials, participants gain a thorough understanding of vascular ultrasound principles and interpretation techniques.

The course consists of:

• 10 Vascular Physics Modules
• 14 Vascular Specialty Modules
• Interactive review questions
• Companion PowerPoint handouts
• Chapter recall exercises
• CME-accredited educational content

The flexible online format allows learners to study at their own pace while building competency in vascular imaging and interpretation.
