Registered Vascular Technologist (RVT)

It is necessary to pass two ARDMS vascular exams to earn a credential as a Registered Vascular Technologist (RVT). They are Sonography Principles and Instrumentation and Vascular Technology.

Completing CAAHEP accredited vascular sonography programs will prepare students to pass the ARDMS vascular exams. Prerequisites vary by program. Once admitted, the core curriculum will focus on topics like the human anatomy, hemodynamics, ultrasound physics, pharmacology concerning the vascular and cardiac systems, and others. It is also necessary to complete clinical training at a school-approved site.

Vascular Ultrasound CME Credits

In order to maintain certification in good standing, registered vascular sonographers are required to take periodic continuing medical education, referred to as ultrasound CME. Sonographers can take paid or free vascular ultrasound CME credits. The following organizations offer vascular CME:

  • SDMS (Free CMEs)
  • society for vascular ultrasound (Free CMEs and Paid CMEs)
  • Vascular-Web (Paid CMEs)
  • Owen Brown’s Workshops in Cardiac and Vascular Ultrasound (Paid CMEs)
  • Pacific Vascular Institute for Continuing Medical Education (Paid CMEs)
  • Prairie Vascular Institute (Paid CMEs)

Vascular ultrasound certification is also available through the ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists) and CCI (Cardiovascular Credentialing International).

Salary and Job Outlook

Per independent salary surveys of Vascular Technicians working in the U.S., the average annual salary was approximately $63,450 or $30.50 per hour. This is significantly more than the average annual wages of $56,100 or $26.97 per hour reported by the federal government for Cardiovascular Technologists and Technicians.

The employment outlook for the Vascular Technologists is expected to be excellent with a 30 percent increase in employment during the years 2012 to 2022 for this specialty. As technology advances and the healthcare focus increasingly shifts to using more non-invasive procedures, there will be an increasing demand for Vascular Technologists in diagnostic laboratories and physician offices. The best vascular ultrasound jobs will go to the people who are certified. | See Job Openings
