Description
The Vascular Surgery Virtual Review is a two-day seminar featuring didactic lectures, a searchable e-syllabus, embedded review questions, and discussion for each topic. This comprehensive course is designed to help physicians prepare for the Vascular Surgery Qualifying Exam. It also aims to strengthen their clinical knowledge.
The program emphasizes evidence-based medicine and board-relevant standards of care, incorporating current best practices in diagnosis, testing, treatment approaches, and postoperative management. As a result, the course serves as an excellent review for the Vascular Surgery written examination. In addition, it is a valuable refresher for practicing physicians seeking to update their expertise.
Participants will gain practical insights and strategies that can be immediately applied in clinical practice. By the end of the course, attendees can expect improved diagnostic and treatment-planning skills. They will also gain a deeper understanding of surgical and non-surgical management options. Furthermore, participants will develop stronger knowledge of perioperative critical care, and greater awareness of areas requiring additional self-study.
The webinar is delivered via Zoom Cloud Meetings, enabling an interactive learning experience with faculty. A computer and a reliable internet connection are recommended for participation. Attendees can participate fully during the two-day course. Later, they can revisit the material using the course recordings to reinforce learning and support ongoing practice improvement.
All participants also receive complimentary streaming access to the course recordings through September 23.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, each participant will be able to:
- Describe the fundamentals of the basic science that underlie vascular disease and its surgical treatment.
- Discuss the comprehensive non-operative treatment of vascular disease, including drug therapy and risk factor reduction.
- Explain preoperative risk assessment and operative and postoperative critical care procedures for the vascular surgery patient.
- Discuss the fundamentals of vascular disease clinical evaluation, including plethysmography, duplex ultrasonography, MRI and CT scans, angiography, and other tests used to diagnose vascular disease.
- Appraise the indications and techniques related to open operative treatment of vascular disease of the cerebrovascular system, exclusive of intracranial vessels, thoracic and abdominal vessels, and those of the upper and lower extremities.
