A comprehensive curriculum covering everything physician assistants need to safely and effectively perform sclerotherapy treatments.
Master the venous system of the lower extremities including superficial veins, deep veins, perforator veins, and reticular veins. Understand venous insufficiency, valve dysfunction, and the pathophysiology of spider veins and varicose veins.
Learn precise injection protocols for telangiectasias (spider veins), reticular veins, and small varicose veins. Practice proper needle angles, injection volumes, and compression techniques for optimal results.
Compare sclerosing agents including sodium tetradecyl sulfate (Sotradecol), polidocanol (Asclera), and hypertonic saline. Understand concentrations, dilutions, and foam sclerotherapy.
Develop consultation skills, identify contraindications, assess venous insufficiency, and create personalized treatment plans for each patient.
Recognize and manage adverse events including hyperpigmentation, matting, DVT, skin necrosis, and allergic reactions. Learn prevention strategies and treatment protocols.
Understand practice economics, patient acquisition strategies, and how to demonstrate value to your supervising physician and practice.
Understanding your capabilities and collaborative practice requirements as a PA performing sclerotherapy.
Physician assistants practice medicine under a collaborative agreement with a supervising physician. Within this team-based model, PAs can perform procedures like sclerotherapy as delegated by their supervising physician. Your PA education provides excellent clinical training for procedures, and many vein clinics and aesthetic practices rely on PAs to deliver high-quality sclerotherapy treatments to patients.
PAs with procedural skills command higher salaries. Many practices offer productivity bonuses for procedures performed.
Work alongside physicians in vein clinics, dermatology practices, or aesthetic centers. PAs often handle the majority of sclerotherapy procedures while physicians focus on complex cases.
Sclerotherapy skills make you more competitive for positions in vein clinics, medical spas, and dermatology practices that value procedural expertise.
Supervision requirements vary by state, ranging from on-site physician presence to remote supervision via chart review and periodic consultations. Many states have modernized PA practice laws to allow more flexible supervision arrangements, enabling PAs to practice efficiently while maintaining appropriate physician oversight.
Receive your AAOPM Certificate of Completion with 8.0 CME credits toward NCCPA certification maintenance. This certification demonstrates your competency in sclerotherapy and is valued by employers and supervising physicians.
