Course Description: This hands-on
training, taught and supervised by expert American physicians,
offers the rare opportunity to perform vein-removal surgical
procedures by working with patients in a modern clinical facility
in the Dominican Republic. Doctors with international reputations
in the treatment of venous disease offer small-group practical
and classroom instruction in an intensive 3.5-day course. Participants
will learn to perform endovenous ablation, ambulatory phlebectomy,
sclerotherapy and venous ultrasound within the setting of a private,
state-of-the-art out-patient facility. To ensure high quality
and provide personalized attention, the course is limited to
a maximum of eight participants. For convenience, accommodations
are available in a world-class resort one mile from the clinic.
The goal of the course is to prepare physicians
to perform at the highest skill levels in an area of medicine
currently experiencing rapid growth. If you have been considering
making available venous procedures as part of your practice,

Course Description: Every year more than 100,000 adults in the United States lose lower limbs due to vascular disorders. The incidence of peripheral arterial disease continues to grow as the population ages and contributing factors such as diabetes and obesity become more prevalent. Physicians working in a variety of fields increasingly must evaluate patients with peripheral vascular disease. The most serious cases frequently lead to amputation.
Experts remain convinced that the majority of such amputations can be avoided. The Amputation Prevention Symposium offers a concentrated program that covers how to assess and treat advanced lower extremity arterial disease with the goal of saving limbs. Focused exclusively on the periphery, the course brings together authorities who will provide specific, detailed information about proper diagnosis and promising therapies. The Amputation Prevention Symposium will give physicians the knowledge to make critical decisions that ensure the best possible outcome for every patient.
