CME Medical Conferences

Sclerotherapy, Advanced

A Seminar for Medical Sclerotherapy Training
CME Conference Description:

Designed for the clinician already practicing Sclerotherapy/Phlebology, the Advanced Sclerotherapy CME medical conference reinforces and expands upon an existing knowledge base of anatomy/physiology, sclerosants (including foam) and venous leg ulcers. Additionally, the role of duplex ultrasound and tumescent anesthesia in a contemporary phlebology practice is explored. With an emphasis on the new evolving endovenous therapies, the participant will have the opportunity to perform duplex ultrasonography and diagnostic ultrasound of the lower extremities on live patient models and endovenous therapy on simulated models.

Consider registering for the Sclerotherapy and Advanced Sclerotherapy Value Package.
