The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) Executive Board has established the Vascular Board Certification Model Task Force to deliver a final report entitled “Free-standing or federated Board certification: An analysis of the optimal path forward for vascular surgery” by the end of 2024.
The task force will engage in months of intensive research and exploration, culminating in a thorough analysis and eventual presentation of its findings in the final report. An interim report is slated for completion by late July, and it is anticipated that it will be presented at the January 2025 Strategic Board of Directors meeting.
The SVS Executive Board acknowledges the substantial response received from its members volunteering to serve on the task force, totaling over 30 submissions. The selection process for task force members proved challenging as the Executive Board aimed to ensure the representation of diverse perspectives within the composition. The task force members are led by Chair Michael Dalsing, MD.
