The Registered Phlebology Sonographer (RPhS) credential is for physicians, sonographers, nurses, physician assistants, and other associate health professionals who utilize ultrasound to treat vein disorders. “The development of ultrasound has been the most important single factor stimulating the creation of the specialty of phlebology and improving our understanding and treatment of chronic venous disease. The RPhS credential is important because it is the only credential we have that addresses the full breadth of the practice of ultrasound in phlebology. It addresses not only deep venous thrombosis evaluation, but venous reflux and ultrasound in venous procedures as well.” What content is covered in the RPhS examination? The following examination matrix is provided to illustrate the general distribution of questions and the relative weight or emphasis given to a skill or content area on the examination.
