The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) has called om members to detail their educational and professional development needs in order that it can seek to better support vascular surgery careers.
The Society recently sent an educational needs assessment surgery to members and other vascular surgery constituents, which will continue into early October. The survey is aimed at helping the SVS to map out future education priorities.
“This is one of the three key surveys that the SVS Executive Board weighs in on and approves the SVS to send out,” said SVS Education Council Chair Kellie Brown, MD.
The first assessment survey was sent out in 2021 and received 767 responses. The usable sample was 585, the number SVS hopes to exceed this time around. The 2021 assessment produced data that showed the need for more coding and reimbursement resources.
The SVS is encouraging all vascular surgery specialists to participate in the needs assessment in order to map out educational needs for the next three years. Those who complete the assessment will be entered into a draw to win one of 10 Amazon gift cards (ranging from $100–$200 in value). Email [email protected].
