I am strongly considering re-classing to a 68N (Cardiovascular Specialist). I have heard that the AIT portion is a very intense classroom setting. What exactly is it that I need to study in order to prepare me for this upcoming challenge? Is there a lot of math involved? Please be very detailed with what I need to start studying. Thank you!

Study Cardiovascular A&P, Cardiovascular Medical Terminology, Ultrasound Physics, and review your Algebra. There is a lot of math in both the Pharmacology section and when learning the cardiac calculations.
That will give you a good foundation to start off the class. If you get that really well the rest of it will fall into place.

Two patients show up in hypovolemic shock from IED. One is a 6'1" 200lb man and the other a female 5'8" and 145lbs. Using your table of blood volume calculate how many liters of blood would be necessary for his surgery of 4-8 hours and her surgery of 3 hours out of a 20 liter supply. SPC (Join to see)
