NEW! Web-Based Education Learning Modules
The Society for Vascular Nursing (SVN) provides materials that educate clinicians about vascular disease. A free series of web-based learning modules is available to medical professionals. The modules are designed as an introduction to what carotid artery disease is and then more specific to the disease process your patient is experiencing. These may also be used as a reference for staff nurses not familiar with carotid artery disease and its treatments.
