Course Description: Building upon its reputation as the most comprehensive venous disease management course in the United States, the International Vein Congress (IVC) will once again focus on the advances in ultrasound, tumescent anesthesia and vein-removal techniques that have made in-office treatment possible. IVC will cover all of the current treatment modalities via live and videotaped case demonstrations, expert presentations, panel discussions and hands-on manipulation of devices. Additionally, the business aspects of in-office vein management will be addressed, including practice building, incorporating modern cosmetic procedures into a vein practice, marketing and liability issues. IVC is the ideal educational opportunity for practitioners already treating venous disease in the office as well as for those who are considering expanding into this growing area.
This unique educational opportunity features experts in the field of sports medicine. Presented by Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Institute, the symposium is designed for athletic trainers, physical therapists, physical therapy assistants and physicians involved in treating athletes with sports injuries.

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,
this course could provide the foundation for such expansion.
