Venous insufficiency is a common but often undiagnosed disorder affecting 16-20% of Americans. Patients may initially present with leg pain, swelling, or varicose veins, but can eventually develop serious complications, such as blood clots, lymphedema, venous stasis dermatitis, and/or venous ulcers. • This informative session was held live on June 12, 2020 and discusses the pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatments of venous insufficiency. Participants learned about the staging/classification, the disorder, how duplex ultrasonography is used to evaluate patients, and how modern outpatient treatments have revolutionized the management of venous insufficiency. • Zoe Deol, MD, FACS, DABVLM has become an integral part of the academic venous world, and was invited by the President of the American Vein and Lymphatic Society (AVLS) to serve as a representative of the United States on their International Committee. This position affords her the opportunity to fill a diplomatic role while staying abreast of the latest vein techniques being used around the world. Additionally, Dr. Deol accepted an invitation from another prestigious national organization, the American Venous Forum (AVF), to serve on their Website and Social Media Committee. Her role on that committee is to improve the organization’s capacity to educate the general public about venous disease. She is also a member of the American Medical Society (AMA), American College of Surgeons (ACS), the American Society of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery (ASMBS), the American Professional Wound Care Association (APWCA), and the Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS). • Dr. Deol is a Regional Medical Director for Center for Vein Restoration and is lead physician in Detroit and Toledo.
