The Australasian College of Phlebology offers a structured range of training options for medical practitioners and health professionals seeking to develop their knowledge and skills in phlebology, venous disease, sclerotherapy, ultrasound-guided procedures and endovenous treatment.
The College’s formal training pathway is designed to support progressive development from foundational knowledge through to advanced clinical practice and Fellowship. The pathway begins with Basic Training in Phlebology, a one-year program for eligible medical practitioners. This course introduces the principles of venous disease assessment, Doppler and duplex ultrasound, direct vision sclerotherapy and supervised clinical practice. Successful completion leads to the Certificate of Basic Training in Phlebology.
Practitioners who have completed Basic Training may progress to Advanced Training in Phlebology, a two-year program focused on more complex venous assessment and treatment. This stage includes ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, endovenous ablation, advanced duplex ultrasound, supervised clinical rotations, logbook requirements and examinations. Completion leads to the Certificate of Advanced Training in Phlebology.
Following Advanced Training, eligible candidates may undertake a further year of training toward Fellowship of the Australasian College of Phlebology. Fellowship recognises advanced training, clinical experience and assessment, and successful candidates may use the title Fellow of the Australasian College of Phlebology.
The College also provides online education modules across the training years. These modules support theoretical learning and are intended to complement clinical training. While the online modules do not provide clinical training, participants receive a certificate of completion after finishing the modules for each level. The online modules are also available to international medical practitioners.
Training with the Australasian College of Phlebology is suited to practitioners who wish to build competence in the investigation and management of venous disease, develop procedural skills, and pursue a pathway in phlebology within Australia and New Zealand.
