What Others Are Saying
I just received notification of passing the first RPVI exam. Even though I am a practicing vascular surgeon and have directed a cardiovascular laboratory for over twenty years, I am convinced that I passed as a result of my exposure to Frank Miele. Every physician should attend Frank’s classes.

Although I have been reading vascular lab studies in our office for 20 years, I am totally convinced that there is NO WAY I would have passed the RPVI Exam without taking the SVU/SVS Review Course in Cincinnati. It was well worth the time and effort, plus I learned a lot.
William Herbert, MD, RPVI

“As a physician, this is the best lecture I have attended in over 7 years of learning. I would recommend it in a heartbeat for all physicians. I finally understood concepts that I couldn’t understand even in college at Berkeley physics class. Thanks Frank for making it so simple and clear."
