REGIONAL MEETING SERIES
Miramar Beach, Florida
Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort | Miramar Beach
December 12, 2026
8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
This multidisciplinary course is designed to improve awareness, early recognition, referral pathways, and limb salvage outcomes in patients with Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) and high-risk lower extremity wounds.
In addition to vascular proceduralists, the course aims to reach frontline providers who commonly encounter these patients first—including nurse practitioners, physician assistants, podiatrists, wound care specialists, wound care nurses and technicians, home health teams, primary care providers, urgent care clinicians, emergency department personnel, and residents in Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, General Surgery, and Family Medicine.
Through concise, high-yield lectures and interactive case discussions, the course intends to strengthen multidisciplinary collaboration, accelerate appropriate vascular referrals, optimize wound care coordination, and reduce preventable amputations across the Florida Panhandle region and surrounding underserved Gulf Coast communities. While the program is educational rather than device-focused, industry partners will meaningfully increase awareness of contemporary limb-salvage pathways, timely revascularization, advanced wound care, and the broader implementation of evidence-based prevention strategies.
