Ultrasound Physics - ESP ULTRASOUND

The most effective and popular method of physics review

By simply attending ESP Ultrasound’s physics class, you satisfy all prerequisites to challenge the ARDMS SPI Physics exam.

ESP’s physics program is designed for ultrasound professionals with little or no formal physics background and is the most effective and popular method of physics review. This program is finely tuned based on the tens of thousands of students who have attended this course in prior years. It provides you with the most current and up-to-date information, ensuring our commitment to precision in your registry preparation.

This course is well-organized into an optimized twelve-hour program. By perfecting each ultrasound physics concept into a format that is easier to understand, our students pass the ARDMS and CCI certification exams!

Since the CCI exams include physics and the specialty, please plan to take a specialty course. For example, CCI noninvasive echo and vascular students should attend the Adult Echocardiography or Vascular Technology specialty course.
