This program provides comprehensive training in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) with a focus on vascular applications, including carotid, peripheral arterial, venous, and abdominal vascular systems. The curriculum integrates theoretical knowledge with clinical application and emphasizes real-time decision-making, bedside ultrasound utilization, and competency-based training. Participants will develop skills in image acquisition, Doppler interpretation, vascular hemodynamics, and identification of clinically significant pathologies. The program is designed to align with current clinical standards and best practices in ultrasound education.

Program Director and Clinical Content Lead:

 Dr. José David Carrillo, MD
• Master’s Degree in Clinical Echocardiography
• Diploma in Diagnostic Ultrasound
• ARDMS Certified:
o Registered Vascular Technologist (RVT)
o RDMS – Obstetrics and Gynecology
Dr. Carrillo is responsible for curriculum design, academic oversight, clinical accuracy, and
competency validation. The program is developed under his supervision to ensure alignment
with evidence-based practice and international ultrasound education standards. 

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
1. Describe ultrasound physics and Doppler principles relevant to vascular imaging.
2. Identify normal vascular anatomy in carotid, peripheral, and abdominal regions.
3. Perform carotid ultrasound and interpret stenosis using velocity criteria.
4. Evaluate peripheral arterial flow using waveform analysis.
5. Perform venous ultrasound for DVT detection using compression techniques.
6. Assess venous insufficiency and reflux.
7. Evaluate abdominal vascular structures including aorta, portal vein, and IVC.
8. Recognize vascular pathologies such as aneurysm, thrombosis, and stenosis. 

9. Integrate ultrasound findings into clinical decision-making.

Participants must demonstrate competency in:
• Image acquisition and optimization
• Proper probe selection and positioning
• Doppler angle correction and waveform interpretation
