Unetixs Vascular Teams With Leading Online Education Resourceby Robert Garment, Director of Marketing
NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI - Unetixs Vascular, an international leader in instrumentation for diagnosing vascular disease, has become a major sponsor of the podiatric programs offered by PRESENT e-Learning Systems. A pioneer in online medical education, PRESENT e-Learning Systems connects medical professionals at major teaching centers with clinicians on the front line of medical treatment. Unetixs is sponsoring PRESENT's Podiatric Residency Education, Podiatric Board Review, and Professional Podiatric Education CME Lecture Tracks.
"Unetixs is thrilled to sponsor PRESENT's revolutionary online education resources for podiatrists," said Peter Moscovita, President and CEO of Unetixs Vascular. "Unetixs has a long-standing commitment to education and training in the growing field of peripheral vascular diagnostics." Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is commonly seen in the day-to-day practices of podiatrists nationwide. According to Moscovita, Unetixs' collaboration with PRESENT will "help ensure that podiatrists are aware of the latest diagnostics, procedures, and technology available to them and their patients." PRESENT e-Learning Systems has standardized podiatric residency education at the nation's 300 podiatric surgical residency programs. The company accurately simulates the experience of sitting in a lecture hall, providing access to world-class lectures and crystal clear images from any Internet-connected computer, anywhere in the world. Podiatric residents in the smallest and most remotely located hospitals can now receive training from the leading physicians and educators in their field. PRESENT is approved for more than 120 CME credits by the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine (OCPM) and The Council of Podiatric Medical Education (CPME). The Council of Teaching Hospitals has approved the PRESENT curriculum and is in the process of peer reviewing its lectures. The company's 143 lectures have now been viewed more than 48,000 times by over 90% of the residency programs in the United States that use PRESENT e-Learning Systems on a daily basis. According to Moscovita, the PRESENT sponsorship complements Unetixs' other education initiatives. Unetixs is the only physiologic testing company that donates equipment to medical schools, including the University of Miami, Stanford University, Bowman Gray Medical School, Nova Southeastern University, Grossmont College, and others. The company's new headquarters, due to open this summer, will include an education center to help health care professionals understand PAD and introduce them to diagnostic equipment. The company's long-term goal is to establish a Registered Vascular Technician (RVT) Center. About Unetixs Vascular Founded in 1989, Unetixs Vascular brings together advanced technologies and human resources to deliver instrumentation and education focused on early detection of vascular disease. The company's high-value innovative solutions supply accurate results and significant return on investment. Unetixs assists clients in managing patient loads with agility and transforming their infrastructure and processes to optimize existing assets, lower costs, and provide new revenue streams.
