The Cardiac and Vascular Institute
of Ultrasound (CVIU)--located in beautiful Mobile, Alabama--is
dedicated to providing students with an in depth highly
specialized education in cardiac and vascular ultrasound.
As the first non-combined cardiac and vascular oriented
program in the country, the school emphasizes specialization,
rather than generalization. Specialization in either
cardiac or vascular ultrasound produces a more qualified
and a more employable ultrasound sonographer. Small
classes, instructors that love teaching, and a school
curriculum that emphasizes immediate practical application
of course work creates an extremely rewarding learning
experience.
The mission is to provide excellent educational opportunities,
resources, and clinical experiences to meet the requirements
of all students pursuing a career and certification
in cardiovascular ultrasound diagnostics. As a school,
CVIU sets high academic standards for its students and
insures students have a thorough understanding of the
ultrasound principles, technology, and competency skills
needed to confidently pursue a career in cardiovascular
ultrasound. Learning objectives are achieved by
integrating the knowledge gained in the classroom setting
with the practical application of ultrasound sonography
obtained from scanning labs and externships.
The goals of the school are twofold: first, to thoroughly
train sonographers for entry-level positions, and second,
to prepare students to the pass the Registry (certification).
Every graduate from the school will possess the confidence
to take the Registry Exam immediately after graduation.
