What You’ll Learn
Fellows receive extensive supervised experience in the evaluation and management of venous and lymphatic disorders, including:
- Comprehensive clinical evaluation of venous and lymphatic disease
- Venous duplex ultrasound interpretation and its integration into clinical decision-making
- Chronic venous insufficiency and varicose vein disease
- Venous edema, skin changes, and venous ulcer disease
- Superficial venous thrombosis and other venous disorders
- Compression therapy and conservative management
- Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy
- Thermal endovenous ablation
- Contemporary nonthermal treatment strategies
- Cosmetic and medically necessary sclerotherapy
- Treatment planning across complex venous distributions
- Longitudinal assessment of clinical outcomes and disease progression
- Patient education, shared decision-making, and the complete patient experience
Just as importantly, fellows learn to understand why, when, and whether to intervene rather than simply learning a collection of procedures.
ABVLM Certification Preparation
The fellowship incorporates the educational principles and subject matter contained within the American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine (ABVLM) Core Content and fellowship educational standards and provides structured preparation for physicians pursuing ABVLM certification.
Research, Education & Innovation
Research and scholarly activity are important components of the fellowship.
Fellows may participate in:
- Clinical research projects
- Abstract and manuscript development
- Scientific presentations
- Case reports and educational publications
- Quality-improvement initiatives
- Development and evaluation of new approaches to venous care
- Teaching and physician education
Fellows have opportunities to present their work at Health Performance Specialists® Summits and national or international Venous & Lymphatic Medicine meetings and to participate in projects intended for peer-reviewed publication.
At Vein911®, fellows train in an environment where established standards of care are respected—but where questioning assumptions, studying outcomes, and improving the field are equally important.
Learn the Business and Leadership of Medicine
Excellent physicians increasingly need to understand more than clinical medicine.
Through Vein911® and our sister organization, Health Performance Specialists® (HPS), fellows receive unique exposure to the operational, financial, technological, leadership, and patient-experience components of modern independent medical practice.
This provides a perspective rarely incorporated into traditional medical training and prepares fellows not simply to practice Venous & Lymphatic Medicine, but potentially to lead practices, build programs, teach colleagues, conduct research, and advance the specialty.
