Clearly, neither Kathleen Ozsvath, MD, nor Sherene Shalhub, MD, listened when each was told, more than a decade apart, that “women can’t be surgeons.” Now they’re holding a breakfast session that encourages women to be not only surgeons, but leaders as well.
The SVS “Vascular Spectacular” gala, after months of planning, is nearly here. And everyone, no matter where they are in the world on Friday, June 14, may participate in the Online Raffle or Silent Auction, right until it closes. (One caveat: You’ll need to have an Internet connection.)
Clinical Practice Guidelines and Reporting Standards are important tools as the SVS strives to improve quality of care and reduce variation. They also serve as an important benefit for SVS members.
With an increasing number of procedures transitioning to office and outpatient settings, the Society for Vascular Surgery has created the new member Section on Outpatient and Office Vascular Care (SOOVC), specifically geared to clinicians who work in these environments.
After four years of work and research, vascular experts from around the world have released a new, far-reaching global guideline on managing chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), a problem of increasing prevalence and higher health care costs world-wide.
With the SVS’ move to Rosemont, the location and timing for the 2019 SVS Coding Course – a must-attend for those who want to stay up-to-date on coding and all-important reimbursement issues – have been changed.
Auction items continue to come in for the SVS Foundation’s Vascular Spectacular gala, one of the highlights of the Vascular Annual Meeting in June. Proceeds will benefit the SVS Foundation.
