ABVLM Certification Testing

The American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine (ABVLM), formerly the American Board of Phlebology (ABPh), was founded to provide and maintain a certification exam in venous and lymphatic medicine, to issue certificates to physicians passing the exam, and to offer a resource to the public for finding certified vein specialists. Certification demonstrates that physicians have met rigorous standards of education, experience, and evaluation. In order to become certified, a physician must:

  • Complete the requisite training or experience qualifications
  • Meet the continuing medical education requisites
  • Pass a certification examination

Scheduling

First-time test takers must create a Pearson account. Appointments may be made up to one business day in advance.

After you schedule your test, Pearson will send a confirmation letter listing your test date, your testing time, the address and phone number of the test center, and directions to the test center.
