Step confidently into the dynamic world of Interventional Radiology (IR) with this comprehensive 40-hour Category A CE course. Whether you’re a new graduate, preparing for the ARRT Vascular Interventional (VI) certification, transitioning from another modality, or simply seeking to expand your knowledge, this course is designed to give you both the foundation and the confidence to excel in IR.

This course meets the ARRT requirement of 16 hours of structured education needed to sit for the VI registry exam, making it the ideal choice for those pursuing certification.

Through expert-led instruction, real-world case discussions, and networking with peers, you’ll gain a deep understanding of:

  • Core IR procedures – indications, contraindications, anatomy, step-by-step processes, and essential equipment.

  • Patient care in IR – from informed consent to pre- and post-procedure communication, and evaluating patient readiness through labs, chemistry, and medications.

  • Imaging essentials – fluoroscopy, CT, and ultrasound use in image production and post-processing.

You’ll also become familiar with every point of the ARRT VI Board Outline, giving you a roadmap to success on your certification journey.

By the end of this course, you’ll not only strengthen your technical and clinical expertise but also build confidence and community as part of a growing network of Interventional Radiology professionals.

Earn 40 hours of Category A CE credit — including the 16 hours of ARRT-structured education required to sit for the VI registry.
