Registered Vascular Tech

Position Summary

Integra Vascular provides patient-focused, preventative vascular care to the people of our communities and to residents of skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and other healthcare settings nationwide. Our mission is to minimize unnecessary wounds, hospitalizations, amputations, and patient travel through early diagnosis and exceptional onsite vascular care.

Guided by our commitment to clinical excellence, we strive to preserve mobility, independence, and quality of life for every patient we serve. Our physicians and advanced practice providers develop individualized treatment plans utilizing state-of-the-art vascular diagnostics and interventions.

The Mobile Registered Vascular Technologist (RVT) serves a critical role in identifying vascular disease through high-quality diagnostic ultrasound examinations performed in the field. This position requires a strong understanding of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), chronic venous insufficiency, vascular anatomy, and the unique challenges associated with imaging geriatric and medically complex patients.

The ideal candidate possesses excellent technical ultrasound skills, strong clinical judgment, and the ability to work independently while maintaining close collaboration with physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, schedulers, and facility staff. The RVT acts as an extension of the vascular care team, helping ensure patients receive timely diagnoses and appropriate treatment recommendations.
