Welcome to the 2023 Boston Lymphatic Symposium!
This event is hosted by the Boston Lymphatic Center, in partnership with the Lymphatic Education & Research Network.
The main focus of this year’s Symposium is Lymphedema Therapists! In response to feedback from lymphedema therapists at our previous symposia, we will be presenting longer and more in depth sessions. The format will include keynote presentations from experts on new discoveries in our understanding of lymphatic anatomy, the latest evidence regarding diagnosis, early intervention and the use of new technology. We will also have smaller breakout sessions to allow for discussion of how new evidence and technology can be used for lymphatic therapy decision making and problem solving for complex cases.
