UCLA Comprehensive Review and Update of What’s New in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2023

Vascular Surgery CME from the Experts

A joint effort from the Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at UCLA and Society for Vascular Surgery, this online CME course focuses on the major pillars of vascular surgery: conventional open operations, catheter-based intervention (endovascular surgery), the medical aspect of patient management, and diagnostic imaging and noninvasive testing.

Internationally recognized faculty present lectures covering important recent developments, along with roundtable Q&A sessions. In recognition of the increasingly important role of endovascular intervention, the Comprehensive Review and Update of What’s New in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery continuing medical education program also provides an informative update on endovascular surgery and relevant case studies.
