The SVS has expanded its Mentor Match program, which is now available to all SVS members in good standing. The program aims to connect vascular surgery professionals with experienced mentors who can help them achieve goals.
Mentor Match began in 2019 and was open to medical students and general surgery residents. The program allowed for future vascular surgeons to request a mentor who could provide guidance on their impending career. Between 2019 and 2023, over 200 individuals took advantage of the free program.
The Society’s Membership Section leaders initiated the expansion of the program when they inquired about mentorship opportunities for their Section members in late 2023. In addition to allowing all members to become mentees, the Society will also enable more members to become mentors.
