This module introduces the foundational concepts of vascular medicine, including vascular anatomy, physiology, hemodynamics, and the pathophysiology of arterial, venous, and lymphatic disorders. Learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of vascular biology and the mechanisms underlying vascular diseases.
This module focuses on clinical assessment and diagnostic modalities used in vascular medicine. Participants will learn history taking, physical examination techniques, non-invasive vascular testing, and interpretation of diagnostic imaging studies.
This module provides an in-depth understanding of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), including risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment approaches. Emphasis is placed on evidence-based management and prevention strategies.
This module explores diseases affecting the aorta and major arteries. Participants will learn about aneurysms, dissections, vasculitis, and other arterial disorders, including diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
This module covers the diagnosis and management of venous diseases, including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, chronic venous insufficiency, and varicose veins. Current anticoagulation strategies are discussed extensively.
This module focuses on lymphatic anatomy, physiology, and disorders. Participants will develop expertise in diagnosing and managing primary and secondary lymphedema and related conditions.
This module examines vascular complications of diabetes mellitus and emphasizes multidisciplinary approaches to limb preservation, wound care, and prevention of amputations.
This module provides comprehensive training in pharmacological therapies used in vascular medicine, including antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, lipid-lowering drugs, and emerging therapies.
This module introduces minimally invasive vascular interventions. Participants will learn indications, techniques, complications, and outcomes of various endovascular procedures.
Special Populations and Advanced Vascular Disorders
This module focuses on vascular diseases in special patient populations and rare vascular disorders. Participants will develop skills in managing complex vascular conditions.
Research, Quality Improvement, and Capstone Project
This final module develops research competency, critical appraisal skills, and quality improvement expertise. Participants will complete a capstone project integrating knowledge acquired throughout the fellowship.
