Ruth Bush, MD, used her 2025 American Venous Forum (AVF) presidential address to highlight the organization’s elevation and path to “level 5 leadership.”
Level 5 leadership is seen across the organization’s activities, the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, professor of surgery and associate dean, told AVF 2025, held in Atlanta, Georgia (Feb. 16–19).
The concept, which describes the highest level of leadership, as detailed in the book Good to Great by Jim Collins, applies to the AVF, which is “ambitious and forward-thinking but with humility and a giving spirit,” she said.
