This is a course offered for the professional seeking current information regarding the new era of the lymphatic system, which is no longer secondary to the blood vascular system. Venous and lymphatic systems are mutually interdependent. However, both systems are “mutually complimentary” ONLY when they are in normal condition and functioning appropriately. When one of these two systems should fail (e.g. chronic venous hypertension, lymphedema), the homeostasis between the two systems is threatened and such mutual interdependence generates a new problem (Lee, Larado, and Nevill, 2015)
A collaborative approach to wound care and lymphedema therapy is the awareness of coexistence of edema with venous ulceration, and not on lymphoedema secondary to cancer, surgery, renal disease, and drug therapy.

Identify the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the lymphatic and venous systems and their relation to chronic edema and lymphedema
Build a theoretical and practical bridge between the two important specialties of lymphedema management and wound care
Classify the various dermatological issues occurring due to lymphovascular disease progression
Understand basic wound assessment, treatment and dressings that are appropriate under compression
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
1. Discuss how to integrate best available evidence and current practice

The course aims to present a multidisciplinary approach towards the management of patients with head and neck cancer and the sequelae of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. The content will include a basic review of lymphatic anatomy and physiology, as well as basic MLD techniques relevant to the head and neck. Emphasis of the course will be on the performance of basic techniques required for management of the patient with head and neck lymphedema and will be presented in a fashion that will accommodate the learning needs of speech and language pathologists.
Approved 16 Hours Continuing Education for audiology, speech-language pathology, or fitting and dispensing hearing aids content.
