Dear Friends in Vascular Surgery,

I am writing today to share an opportunity to join the community of vascular surgeons in the Pacific Northwest Vascular Society. Together we share the mission to accomplish the following objectives of this Society:

  • To contribute to the understanding of peripheral vascular diseases.
  • To promote the professional development of specialists in vascular disease.
  • To maintain high standards in caring for the patient with vascular disease.
  • To provide a forum for the presentation of scientific information and the proposal of theories concerning vascular diseases.
  • To strengthen our regional community of vascular surgeons.

In my career I have found the resource of the group and this meeting to be inspirational. It would be my pleasure to sponsor your application with a letter of recommendation.

The new member applications will be voted on at the business meeting on November 3, 2023 at the Pacific Northwest Vascular Society Annual Meeting in Vancouver, B.C. where you will be presented with your membership certificate.

Apply today! If you have questions, please contact me for more information.
