April 2026 Newsletter
Inside This Issue
As leaders in venous and lymphatic medicine, we’re committed to advancing patient care through rigorous standards, lifelong learning, and a strong professional network. This newsletter spotlights four ways you can take action: apply for certification, stay current with maintenance requirements, champion excellence through our Employer Advocate Program, and help grow our community via the Diplomate Referral Program.
Become ABVLM Certified: Your Next Professional Milestone
ABVLM certification is a recognized mark of excellence that signals advanced knowledge, elevates credibility with peers and referring physicians, and reassures patients about the quality of their care. Learn more about the benefits and eligibility, and get step-by-step guidance to apply.

Maintain Your Certification: Stay Current and Confident
A quick reminder to all diplomates: ABVLM's Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirements are completed on an annual basis to ensure ongoing competency and continuous learning. This is supported by your annual MOC fee. All MOC fees MUST be paid no later than April 30th.
Grow the Field: Diplomate Referral Program
Know a colleague who’s ready for ABVLM certification? Encourage them to apply and help expand the network of clinicians committed to excellence in VLM. A brief referral form helps us reach prospective applicants and support them through the process.

Stand Out in VLM Care: Become an ABVLM Employer Advocate
Show your commitment to excellence in venous and lymphatic medicine. As an Employer Advocate, your organization is recognized for championing quality and board certification—earning added visibility, supporting recruitment and retention, and accessing options that help offset certification application and annual fees. Share with your leadership team and take the next step.
