Dr. Moore’s influence on vascular surgery is profound and far-reaching. Over the course of his career, he has trained dozens of vascular trainees and postdoctoral fellows and has educated thousands of surgeons through his exceptional board review course, offered continuously for more than four decades in partnership with the SVS. Now titled “A Comprehensive Review and Update of What’s New in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery,” the course has become a cornerstone of vascular surgical education.
Dr. Moore has authored or co-authored more than 300 manuscripts, 200 book chapters, and multiple textbooks, including Vascular and Endovascular Surgery: A Comprehensive Review, now in its 9th edition. His leadership has helped shape the profession through service in universities, regulatory bodies, clinical trials, and national societies, including his role as President of the SVS in 1987.
