The Society for Vascular Surgery is seeking nominations for its annual Excellence in Community Practice Award.
Formerly known as the Excellence in Community Service Award, the honor is bestowed on a member who has exhibited outstanding leadership within his or her community as a practicing vascular surgeon.
Nominations will be reviewed by the SVS Section on Ambulatory Vascular Care (SAVC)—the SVS Community Practice Section is now folded into this new entity— which will then determine the award recipient.
Past recipient Manish Mehta, MD, a vascular surgeon and director of Vascular Health Partners in Albany, New York, says others should consider applying due to the award’s role in highlighting “the important work that so many community practice vascular surgeons are doing.”
The 2025 nomination period is open, with a deadline to apply for the award of Sunday, Dec. 15.
