SVAC Presentation Award

Submissions are accepted Oct. 12 - Nov. 9.

Award Information

The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) Section on Vascular Ambulatory Care (SVAC) Presentation Award is to recognize vascular surgeons who have completed clinical research projects in an OBL or ASC practice.

Three recipients will be selected to present their research and receive an award.

This award is separate from the SVAC Research Seed Grant. Applicants can apply for both the Grant and subsequently the Presentation Award after the research is complete.

The physician applicant responsible for the project must be an SVS Active or Candidate Member who is practicing in an OBL or ASC setting. Vascular interventionalists, trainees, fellows and residents are eligible.

SVAC is invested in a process that assures diversity, equity and inclusion for this award and scholarship opportunities. We encourage enthusiastic, eligible applicants from all aspects of gender, sexual orientation and ethnicity to apply.
