Vascular Technology Exam
Exam Content Outline
The American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers publishes its exam outlines and other important information on its website ( www.ARDMS.org). Visit the site for complete information about applying for and taking the registry examinations.
The outline for each exam indicates the approximate percentage of the exam that a particular topic represents. This information is important because it indicates the relative importance of each topic and allows you to study more effectively. For example, Protocols represents 33% of the vascular technology exam, whereas Patient Care represents 4%.
