Leadership Development Program (Cohort 5)
Overview
The Leadership Development Program (LDP) is a seven-month-long interactive learning experience best suited for U.S./Canadian vascular surgeons who are 5-10 years out of training.
The curriculum is drawn from the highest quality evidenced-based model on leadership stemming from Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner’s, The Leadership Challenge, with an intense focus on applying this knowledge to real-life challenges.
The program consists of webinars, on-demand didactic presentations, live online faculty-led discussions, mentoring, and a 1.5-day in-person workshop that will serve to guide participants as they identify and tackle real-life challenges faced by leaders in vascular surgery.
The aim is for the participants to reach their full potential as leaders and make a positive impact in the specialty, in their workplace and community, and in other areas of importance in their life. Build life-long relationships, have some fun, and invest in your future and the future of the profession all while earning CME credit!
Learning Objectives
By participating in this CME activity, the learner will be able to:
- Recognize the functional day-to-day behaviors that drive success in leadership.
- Understand the larger context of where physicians lead and can lead most effectively in complex health delivery systems.
- Apply selected leadership behavior in interactive learning scenarios to strengthen individualized learning, i.e., conflict resolution, team, and trust building.
- Apply a renewed passion for working in the profession of medicine, and specialty of vascular surgery.

Important Information about your CME credits for LDP Cohort 4
The American Board of Surgery (ABS) recently made changes to its CME processes, which impact the way that Diplomates interact with the Board, upload CME credits, and meet Certification requirements. SVS is committed to complying with the new rules and making your ability to claim credit as seamless as possible, however, we are still in the process of aligning our systems to meet these new requirements.
To ensure all your CME credits earned with SVS are transferred to the ABS, please visit this website to review the process.

SVS will communicate any changes to this information as it becomes available.
