SVS Foundation, SVN and SVU team up with AAAneurysm Outreach

With an increasing number of procedures transitioning to office and outpatient settings, the Society for Vascular Surgery has created the new member Section on Outpatient and Office Vascular Care (SOOVC), specifically geared to clinicians who work in these environments.

After four years of work and research, vascular experts from around the world have released a new, far-reaching global guideline on managing chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), a problem of increasing prevalence and higher health care costs world-wide.

The SVSConnect online community and its mobile app are generating some rave reviews.

With the SVS’ move to Rosemont, the location and timing for the 2019 SVS Coding Course – a must-attend for those who want to stay up-to-date on coding and all-important reimbursement issues – have been changed.

Members: Bring Experts Your Own Cases

“Ask the Experts” is back for 2019, with additional presentations scheduled and audience participation not only added but encouraged.

Auction items continue to come in for the SVS Foundation’s Vascular Spectacular gala, one of the highlights of the Vascular Annual Meeting in June. Proceeds will benefit the SVS Foundation.

Learn by doing. In response to feedback and member requests, the Society for Vascular Nursing is embracing that learning model with a clinical surgical simulation session at its 37th Annual Conference.

The setting for the 2019 Vascular Annual Meeting provides plenty of opportunities for fun before and after the meeting for attendees, and during VAM, for family members.

VAM takes place in National Harbor, Md., near Alexandria, Va., and Washington, D.C.
