The glut of early fall regional vascular society annual meetings is just around the corner, with no fewer than five slated for the month of September. Several have recently made announcements about standout events taking place at their conferences, with one unveiling a new scholarship opportunity.
First up early in the month is the annual meeting of the Eastern Vascular Society (EVS), hosting its 36th gathering in Nashville, Tennessee (Sept. 4–7), with a second annual day of service one of the highlights of this year’s program. Organized in collaboration with the American Venous Forum (AVF), the event is set to take place on Friday, Sept. 5, from 6:30–8:30 p.m. at Jefferson Street Missionary Baptist Church in the Music City. Taking the form of a community health fair, it will include free health screenings, food and beverages, and vascular health educational sessions.
The Midwestern Vascular Surgical Society (MVSS) will host its 49th annual meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio (Sept. 18–20), with organizers putting out a recent call for fellow and senior vascular surgery residents to apply for its Technology & Techniques Vascular Simulation Program, which is slated to take place Thursday, Sept 18, from 7:30 a.m.–12 p.m. Around 30 Midwest trainees will be selected to take part on a first-come-first-served basis, with priority given to those in their final year of training. The winner will be invited to participate in next year’s Society for Clinical Vascular Surgery (SCVS) annual meeting Top Gun Program. For more information, email [email protected].
