Hear Why Members Choose to Belong
"The SVS brings together high impact clinical guidelines, a deep commitment to medical education, and a balance of tried-and-true surgical technique with emerging endovascular technology. The best facet of membership, though, are the relationships I have forged with vascular surgeons and trainees around the country, and the world. Every year I come away from the VAM with new connections, and a new perspective on my specialty." —Ted Gifford, MD, FSVS
"As the current co-chair of the Advanced Practice Provider (APP) section and founder of the Physician Assistant (PA) section within the SVS, I deeply value my membership. I prefer this society because it uniquely brings APPs and surgeons together, allowing us to learn directly alongside our surgeon colleagues. This collaborative environment enhances our knowledge and skills, enabling us to provide the highest level of care to our vascular patients." — Erin Hanlon PA-C
