The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) is gearing up for its inaugural Advocacy and Leadership Conference, taking place Sept. 14–16, in Washington, D.C. With less than two months to go, the SVS is encouraging members at all career stages to register and take part in this landmark event designed to empower vascular professionals to shape the future of their specialty.
This first-of-its-kind conference will unite vascular surgeons, trainees, fellows and other key stakeholders to engage directly in the policymaking process. Attendees will gain insights into the most pressing legislative and regulatory issues affecting vascular care, participate in hands-on advocacy training, and meet face-to-face with members of Congress and senior policy staff during scheduled Capitol Hill visits.
“Vascular surgeons across the country are feeling the strain on our healthcare system and demanding change,” said Megan Tracci, MD, chair of the SVS Advocacy Council. “During the inaugural Advocacy and Leadership Conference coming up, the SVS is offering our surgeons a chance to participate in driving that change.”
She adds, “This is a unique opportunity to examine the pressing issues facing the vascular surgery specialty, meet leaders and policymakers, learn how to be an effective advocate and participate—personally—in transforming the healthcare landscape through visits with members of Congress and policy staff on Capitol Hill.”
Space is limited, and interest is high. Register today at vascular.org/AdvocacyConference25.
