Our Hands-On PV-CTA Course  
Hands-on course taught by Dr. Tony DeFrance and Dr. Peter Fail. Learn our systematic review methodology for peripheral vascular CTA in this 50 hour course. Your training will include 2 hours of online didactic lectures that can be completed at your own pace before coming to the course, minimizing your time out of the clinic. Travel to one of our training sites for a one day hands-on workstation training session. During this onsite session, you will review a wide variety of peripheral vascular pathology.

Following your hands-on training, you can complete as many as 125 additional cases using our specialized interactive training software. In total, you will review in excess of 150 cases of carotid (25%), Abdominal (20%) Pre and Post EVAR (10%) Renals and Mesenterics (10%) and Run-off (35%). Each student will have their own workstation and earn 50 CMEs.

ACC Guidelines
The ACC guidelines require 50 mentored and 100 unmentored cases. This program exceeds the standards for peripheral vascular CTA competency issued by the ACC by mentoring to 150 cases.
