Hey, I'm Joshua T. Osborne

In 2015, I said goodbye to 16-hour days and hauling boxes up and down stairs for a living (I was a mover). I became a full-time entrepreneur, and I made my money by helping business owners make money.

They had a need, and because of Virtual Tool Booths., I could fill it. Through the methods taught by my all-time favorite course and mentor, I created a 6-figure business in roughly 6 months. I could retire today (at 37) and never have to worry about money ever again.

Because of Virtual Tool Booths., I was able to quit my job, work online with flexible hours, and move to the mountains (Colorado Springs if you’re wondering)...all while helping real people improve their businesses, incomes, and lives!

For most folks, a college degree is the biggest bill of their lives. I never went to college. So I don’t have any massive bills or giant debts hanging over my head. My greatest education came from Virtual Tool Booths. (for a tiny fraction of what college costs) and it’s the bill that pays ALL the bills - a hundred times over!

I really wanted to share this secret weapon with others, so they could change their lives the way I changed mine. So if you’re not 100% sure about college, or only researching to make someone else happy, Virtual Tool Booths. might be a better option for you.

What does a vascular technologist do?

Vascular technologists help physicians with diagnosing and treating many different conditions that affect the vascular system, except for the heart. They review and record the medical history of patients, perform physical examinations, explain procedures to patients, and answer any questions the patient may have. They assess pulses, and evaluate the blood flow in veins and arteries by listening to the vascular flow sounds, and order the appropriate diagnostic test. They also perform noninvasive procedures using technological equipment such as ultrasounds. They record vascular information including blood flow, oxygen levels, blood pressure, and circulation. They then provide the summary of the results to physicians to assist in the diagnosis and treatment.

What kind of training does a vascular technologist need?

Vascular technologists typically need at least an associate degree. Many community colleges and junior colleges offer programs in vascular technology. Some vascular technologists have a bachelor degree. Prospective vascular technologists typically complete courses in anatomy and physiology, medical ethics, and ultrasound technology. Most employers provide on the job training to new vascular technologists to enable them to learn the required procedures. Some states require vascular technologists to be licensed. The American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS) offers the Registered Vascular Technologist (RVT) certification and many vascular technologists gain this voluntary designation to remain competitive in the field. Vascular technologists must keep their skills up to date and stay abreast on the current advancements in the field. They regularly complete continuing education and additional training throughout their career.
