Fellows' Course In Venous Disease

On behalf of the American Venous Forum, we invite you to join us at the spring and fall Fellows Course in Venous Disease. This year the courses are:

Spring Course - April 21-23, 2013 at Englewood Hospital in Englewood, NJ

Fall Course - December 6-8, 2013 at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA

These intimate gatherings of no more than 40 fellows from vascular and interventional radiology programs from around the country, along with a faculty consisting of experts in the field of venous disease and representatives from sponsoring companies, will prove to be a stimulating interaction for all.

COURSE DESCRIPTION


 

The Fellows Course in Venous Disease is presented for the benefit of fellows within the specialty of vascular surgery, interventional radiology, vascular medicine and associated programs.  The course program will cover:

 

  • Anatomy and pathophysiology of venous disorders and non-invasive diagnostics
  • Chronic venous insufficiency (superficial & deep)
  • Pregnancy, upper extremity venous issues, acute DVT and wound care
  • Future of venous disease
  • The business of venous disease
The goal of the course is to educate and update the fellows regarding the latest theories and developments in the clinical practice of vein disease management. Fellows will gain an overall understanding of vein disease to allow them to successfully incorporate venous knowledge, skills and techniques into their overall practice as they make the transition from training to the clinical practice.
