Donald P. Ridgway

Don Ridgway is Professor Emeritus, now truly retired, in the Grossmont College Cardiovascular Technology Program. He has taught and worked in the vascular sonography field since 1985. Don graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in Comparative Literature in 1970, played bluegrass music for a living for 10+ years, and then finally got a useful job performing vascular sonography after completing the Grossmont CVT Program. His "Introduction to Vascular Scanning," from Davies Publishing, was first published in 1991, and the much-expanded and improved 4th edition is now available. (Get this one, not the previous editions; he worked hard to make the 4th edition better.) Don is also the editor of "Vascular Technology Review" (also from Davies Publishing), containing approximately 600 study questions for sonographers preparing for the ARDMS (American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers) registry exam.
