Vascular medicine and phlebology: Where do we intersect?

Abstract

As we begin the new year, the societies representing vascular medicine and phlebology embrace new opportunities while facing the existing challenges of growth and recognition. This issue of Vascular Medicine is devoted solely to venous disease, a core area of vascular medicine training. As the field of phlebology also relates to venous disease, the question arises, what is the relationship between vascular medicine and phlebology and are vascular medicine specialists also phlebologists?
