The Annual Symposium on Vascular Surgery, held by the Society for Clinical Vascular Surgery, provides a forum to communicate with SCVS members and guest physicians who are advancing the art and science of vascular surgery through the interchange of ideas and experience. The program includes original papers presenting new information and clinical case reports, with time allotted after each presentation for discussion; peripheral to the main program are developmental sessions and a skills competition specific to Fellows, Incoming Fellows, and Young Vascular Surgeons. Committed to fostering educational programs for the practicing vascular surgeon, the SCVS Annual Symposium enhances the delivery of health care in vascular disease and enjoys yearly growth in attendance. It is a pivotal event for vascular surgery opinion leaders and professionals as well as industry.
