Need CMEs by 12/31/05 for Your ARDMS Credential?

If you need to obtain some CMEs by 12/31/05 to maintain your vascular credential, SVU can help you get those needed CMEs by attending one of the upcoming SVU courses in 2005:

• SVU/SVS Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation Exam Review Course, Oct. 28-30, 2005 in Chicago, provides a total of 18.75 SVU-CME credit hours
• SVU Current Issues Conference, Nov. 4-5, 2005 in Arlington, VA, provides a total of 13.25 SVU-CME credit hours.

Go to the SVU website at www.svunet.org and click on Upcoming Events for details on both educational programs.

Another opportunity to earn SVU-CMEs for SVU members is available through the three tests in each issue of SVU’s Journal for Vascular Ultrasound (JVU). Each test you pass provides 1 SVU-CME unit. You can photocopy the tests in each issue, answer the test questions, and mail or fax them to the SVU national office. You can also go to the Online JVU issues on the SVU website and take the tests online. Your CMEs will be automatically sent to ARDMS for your RVT credential file.

Either way, SVU is here to help you get your needed CMEs by the end of 2005. For 2006 SVU again will offer both Introductory and Advanced Vascular Interpretation Courses. Check out the e-Spectrum newsletter on the SVU website soon for details.
