http://www.vteeducation.com en-us VTEeducation.com - The France Foundation VTEeducation.com is an educational curriculum incorporating a series of activities designed to reach the targeted learners throughout 2008. This educational curriculum will be directed toward the learning needs of hospitalists, oncologists, and emergency medicine physicians who manage patients at-risk for VTE. This curriculum will help health care providers stay abreast of the latest information and best practices surrounding VTE prophylaxis to help patients achieve successful clinical outcomes.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) comprises deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or clots usually occurring in the lower limbs, and pulmonary embolism (PE), a sudden blockage of the pulmonary artery usually due to a clot that has traveled to the lung from a leg DVT, and occurs in an estimated 200,000 US patients each year.
