ONLINE PHLEBOLOGY REVIEW COURSE
The Phlebology Review Course (PRC) serves as an excellent review for those physicians who wish to sit for the American Board of Phlebology (ABPh) board certification exam as well as for those who wish to review the current concepts in the practice of phlebology. The course includes synchronized audio files with powerpoint presentations (from the 2009 course) on topics such as venous anatomy, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and the treatment of venous and related diseases. You will be able to access these materials 24/7 and can study at your own pace.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The target audience for the PRC includes physicians experienced in caring for patients with venous problems as well as physicians who are new to the field and want a detailed presentation of the core curriculum of phlebology. Topics covered during the course are emphasized based on the anticipated importance of these topics on the Board Certification Exam to be administered by the American Board of Phlebology. Please visit the ABPh website for full details about the examination.
REGISTRATION
Registration for the Phlebology Review Course is available at www.prolibraries.com/acp.

- Describe normal venous anatomy and nomenclature
- Summarize normal and abnormal venous hemodynamics and the derangements associated with chronic venous insufficiency
- Outline lymphatic anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology
- Describe the epidemiology, presentation and morbidity of venous disease
- Prepare a detailed history, perform a directed physical exam and describe the performance and interpretation of necessary diagnostic exams including duplex ultrasound
- Determine the therapy for acute and chronic venous disease including indications, contraindications, risks and benefits
- Discuss acute venous thrombosis and its risk factors as well as becoming facile with the diagnosis and treatment of superficial thrombophlebitis, deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
A NOTE ABOUT REVIEW COURSES
The American Board of Phlebology neither administers nor endorses review courses for ABPh examinations. The Board does provide a document about exam content and content weighing (see the ABPh website for details) but does not provide guidance to organizations offering review courses. Participation in review courses does not ensure successful completion of the certification exam.
NOTE: this course will not be offered as an in-person activity this year.
