Synopsis

A comprehensive review book for the ultrasound registry. New! Interactive DVD companion. Content based on ARDMS outline. Audio CDs narrate text. Chapter quizzes included. 17.0 AMA Cat.1 PRA CME available.

Similar to a review book on audio, the ULTRA P.A.S.S. workbook provides a comprehensive written and narrated format of the topics listed on the ARDMS registry outlines. This workbook is designed so you can easily find a specific subject of study at any time. This spiral-bound workbook includes 205 pages, self-tests after each section and 5 digital audio CDs that can be played on current portable and car CD players or computer CD drives (system requirements: Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0 or later, 2000, or XP, 16MB RAM) and a new companion DVD that features real-time exams illustrating various pathologies referenced in the workbook (DVD is ompatible with set-top DVD players, DVD-Rom drives, DVD-R drives, and DVD+R drives).

A CME Quiz ($50.00 processing fee) can be submitted to Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute for 17.0 “AMA Cat.1” CME credits (also meets requirements for ARDMS and ARRT, Cat. B only, CME), if needed.
