The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) has made a fresh call for members to participate in a compensation survey, a collaboration with Phairify, that aims to provide vascular surgeons with tailored insights into compensation, practice and productivity data relevant to their specialty and practice situations, helping them make informed career decisions.
The SVS seeks a 20% response rate from its members to ensure the survey’s scientific validity.
“Ensuring a robust response rate from SVS members is crucial for the scientific credibility of the compensation survey,” said Keith Calligaro, MD, chair of the SVS Compensation/Phairify Committee that developed the survey. “The data obtained will not only benefit individual vascular surgeons, but will also contribute to a comprehensive understanding of compensation and practice trends within our specialty. Your participation is key to the success of this initiative,” he said.
Phairify, a web-based data collection and visualization platform, offers free access to SVS members. Members can complete an anonymous 15-minute survey that allows them to filter and access compensation, productivity and practice data specific to the specialty. The survey provides members with a better understanding of their compensation and productivity through data comparisons with their peers. Members can participate by visiting vascular.org/CompensationStudy2023.
“Over the last few years, many SVS members have noted that when vascular surgeons apply for a job somewhere—whether after completing a fellowship or a mid-career move—they are not sure what to expect in terms of financial compensation. This survey will help in terms of dealing with future employers, what to expect and maybe even what to ask for,” Calligaro previously stated when assessing the importance of the survey
