International Mentoring Program
The International Mentorship Program was developed by the International Relations Committee to provide experienced academic mentors from the Society of Vascular Surgery for International members outside the United States who do not have access to individuals who can assist them in professional growth.
Applications are now open to participate in the 2022-2023 program.
Program
The International Mentorship Program will provide mentors to international members to assist them in clinical research design, abstract submission, manuscript preparation, and scientific meeting presentations.
The program is for an initial period of one year; continuation beyond this time is dependent on scholarly productivity and the mutual desires of the mentor and mentee. The program will consist of internet based mentoring with live video conferencing between mentor and mentee.
