SUMMARY:Vascular Care 2011: Best Practices in Peripheral Vascular Trea
 tment
DESCRIPTION:VASCULAR CARE 2011:\nBest Practices in Vascular Therapy\n\
 nFEBRUARY 6—9, 2011\nSUNDAY—WEDNESDAY\n\nNEEDS ASSESSMENT\n\nAs th
 e population ages, there is an increasing need to recognize and effect
 ively manage vascular diseases. Arterial diseases commonly affect olde
 r adults, especially those with cardiovascular risk factors such as di
 abetes, hypertension, tobacco use and hyperlipidemia. Venous thrombosi
 s and chronic venous insufficiency are even more common problems, with
  disabling and potentially life-threatening\ncomplications. This fifth
  annual installment of the UC Davis\nVascular Center’s Vascular Care
  series addresses the challenges of managing arterial and venous disea
 ses, with an examination of the evidence upon which practice guideline
 s have been based.\n\nAs diagnostic and therapeutic technologies have 
 developed\nrapidly in the past several years, vascular care specialist
 s now\nhave a broader array of choices and options. This educational\n
 program broadly addresses many of the aspects of vascular disease mana
 gement, emphasizing the value of a multi-disciplinary approach and app
 lications of novel technologies. In addition to reviewing the clinical
  care and diagnostic evaluation of these patients, the program examine
 s contemporary surgical and endovascular options for revascularization
 , reviews practice standards, and addresses the challenges of clinical
  decisionmaking for problems with limited evidence to guide choices. T
 he program includes opportunities for audience participation in sessio
 ns and case-based discussions.\n\nThe program focuses on the education
  needs of cardiologists,\nsurgeons, and radiologists who treat periphe
 ral vascular\ndiseases. The program is also intended for other health-
 care\nproviders, including nurses and advanced practice nurses,\npodia
 trists, endocrinologists, primary care providers, wound\ncare speciali
 sts, as well as radiology, cardiovascular and\nvascular laboratory tec
 hnologists. As in prior years, Vascular\nCare 2011 also has a special 
 session on the emerging specialty of vascular nursing.\n\nEDUCATIONAL 
 OBJECTIVES\n\n• Identify clinical topics that have limited strength 
 of evidence\nfor CPG recommendations so informed decisions can be made
  in tailoring therapy to specific patient conditions.\n• Discuss dia
 gnostic and treatment options for peripheral arterial, carotid, renal,
  mesenteric and venous diseases, as well as for aortic aneurysms, in o
 rder to provide cost effective care with optimal patient functional ou
 tcomes.\n• Compare current and future medical, surgical and endovasc
 ular treatment options for vascular disease to ensure access to the op
 tion most appropriate for the patient.\n• Identify complications fol
 lowing endovascular and surgical\nrevascularization and develop manage
 ment strategies for\nthese complications to reduce mortality, risk of 
 limb loss and\nother complications.\n\nENROLLMENT\n\nPlease register e
 arly – space is limited.\nTuition is $470 for physicians and a disco
 unted rate of $350\nis offered for nurses, vascular laboratory technol
 ogists and other health care professionals. Confirmation of registrati
 on will be sent within two weeks after receipt of enrollment form. The
  fees will increase after January 5, 2011.\n\nYou must register for th
 e conference to get the code for our room block at the hotel.\n\nCompl
 imentary registration is available for fellows and residents in ACGME 
 accredited programs. Program directors may submit the completed enroll
 ment form with a cover letter requesting tuition waiver. Letters must 
 be received by January 5, 2011.\n\nFor more information visit https://
