VAM 2018's theme is "Home of the Vascular Team – Partners in Patient Care." From doctors to PAs to nurses to technologists, VAM has programming for everyone. Consider bringing your team members along to participate in The Society for Vascular Nursing 36th Annual Conference, a specialized PA session, and more.
The current state of medical liability reform is discussed. The SVS continues to play an active role in the advancement of this legislation to reduce medical lawsuit abuse, eliminate inconsistent state liability laws, and mitigate fear of prosecution in natural disaster relief efforts.
With the opening of registration and housing, the 2018 Vascular Annual Meeting officially takes a big step forward. This year's meeting will feature a great mix of activities and initiatives, both familiar and new!
Materials from the February webinar on the Quality Payment Program, including how surgeons can still avoid reimbursement penalties for 2017, are now available online.

The clock is ticking to apply for a new SVS Foundation grant program aimed squarely at improving patient health by way of our community practice members.
To improve access, efficiency and service to existing and future SVS members, the Society is now reviewing and approving membership applications quarterly, instead of yearly.
The program is taking shape and registration is now open for an important SVS research-oriented event, the Vascular Research Initiatives Conference. It will be held May 9 at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square.
