What You’ll Learn
Fellows receive extensive supervised experience in the evaluation and management of venous and lymphatic disorders, including:
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:
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.
