message from the program chairs

On behalf of the 2012 Program Planning Committee, it is with great pleasure that we invite you to attend the 26th Annual Congress of the American College of Phlebology. As co-chairs, we have tried to create a unique program with a blend of previously successful topics with some new thought-provoking ideas.

» Pre-congress activities which will offer both basic and advanced phlebology tracks, in addition to an ultrasound pathway, and a timely practice management full day program

» Hands-on Workshops for all practitioners including: Ultrasound, Ambulatory Phlebectomy, Sclerotherapy, and Compression/Wound Care

» An extensive selection of hands-on ultrasound experiences every day… and more LIVE ultrasound cases for enhanced learning

» Aesthetic course on Sunday for those who either want to enhance their cosmetic outcomes, and/or add some cosmetic procedures to their practice

» Focus on presenting the very best quality abstracts on timely topics » Focus on the debate format and audience response system to help foster active

learning and to stimulate controversies » Continued expansion and presence of renowned international faculty » Two keynote speakers, both well known for their insights and contribution to the field

of phlebology and venous disease (Michael Jaff, DO and Steven Talbot, RVT) » Advanced phlebologists will enjoy a more lively debate on many pertinent topics and

controversies » Comprehensive patient based learning with many live models and case presentations » Multidisciplinary/ Nursing track running concurrently throughout the meeting, offering

excellent pertinent didactics » Variety of additional topics for Phlebologists including: Emergency Preparedness,

Laser Safety, Practice Management, EMR, Practice Based Research/ Study Design, etc. » Opportunity to present your challenging cases for discussion with the audience and a

“The development of ultrasound has been the most important single factor stimulating the creation of the specialty of phlebology and improving our understanding and treatment of chronic venous disease. The RPhS credential is important because it is the only credential we have that addresses the full breadth of the practice of ultrasound in phlebology. It addresses not only deep venous thrombosis evaluation, but venous reflux and ultrasound in venous procedures as well.”

— Eric Mowatt-Larssen, MD, FACPh, RPhS Vein Specialists of Monterey, California
