How to Start a Vascular Lab

Prepared by the SVS Young Surgeons Advisory Committee

Interpretation of non-invasive vascular laboratory testing should be a part of any vascular surgical practice. The combination of practical experience, knowledge of vascular disease, and knowledge of non-invasive vascular testing makes vascular surgeons uniquely qualified to interpret vascular laboratory testing. Therefore, all vascular surgeons should aim to participate in the interpretation of non-invasive diagnostic testing.

Marketing Your Practice Series, Part 1: Defining Your Competitive Edge

Prepared by the SVS Young Surgeons Advisory Committee

This is the first in a series of practice memos developed to assist vascular surgeons to effectively market their practices.

In order to effectively market a medical practice, define the competitive edge. This is especially critical for new practices, practices moving to a new location, or practices encountering new competition in an established practice. The first step is to define and analyze the competition.
