ACS and SVS Release Standards for Outpatient Vascular Care
The American College of Surgeons (ACS), with the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS), has released new standards for outpatient vascular centers to help them provide optimal care and treatment of patients receiving vascular surgical and procedural care.
These new standards are part of the Vascular Verification Program (Vascular-VP). The standards provide the requirements necessary for outpatient vascular centers to achieve and maintain verification for their vascular programs.
CME Credit Process Update
The American Board of Surgery (ABS) Will Discontinue the CME Credit Self-Claiming Process for Diplomates on July 1, 2023. Act now so you don't lose earned CME credits.
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, follow the steps outlined on our webpage.
