We are very pleased to announce this important accomplishment by Dr. Uchino.  His certification with American Board of Phleboloby reflects his knowledge and experience in providing patient care.

To become an ABPh diplomate, an applicant must complete the requisite training or experience qualifications, meet the continuing medical education requisites, and pass a stringent certification examination.  Certification periods are ten years and maintenance will be dependent on the ability of the diplomate to display competency in four areas of assessment: evidence of professional standing, evidence of commitment to lifelong-learning and periodic self-assessment, evidence of cognitive expertise, evaluation of performance in practice. 

The American Board of Phlebology is an independent, non-profit organization founded in 2007 for the purpose of certifying physicians who have met a defined standard of education, training and knowledge in the field of Phlebology.  The American Board of Phlebology (ABPh) was established to:
