2024 Program

The Physicians-in-Training program at VIVA and The VEINS offers a series of fellows & residents sessions designed to enhance your skill set as a vascular specialist and personal growth as an early-career professional.

The attendees of the fellows and residents scholarship program will have the exclusive opportunity to visit each commercial supporter of the program during an intimate reception on Monday, November 4. During the reception, trainees will rotate through each booth to learn about each company and develop relationships with supporters as advocates of PVD diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment.

Registration for the 2024 scholarship program is closed.


FACE-OFF COMPETITION

Program participants who are attending VIVA will participate in the Face-Off competition, which offers the opportunity to present an interesting case or original research in a 7-minute session, followed by 3 minutes of Q&A from members of the VIVA faculty. Cases will focus on the endovascular or medical treatment of peripheral vascular disease. Presentations are judged on clarity, depth, originality, and interest to field. Winners will present their case in the Spotlight Theater on the final day of the VIVA conference.

The top three Face-Off presenters will have the opportunity to submit their case for review and publication in the Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases, Innovations, and Techniques, with submission fees paid by The VIVA Foundation.

POSTER DISPLAY

Program participants who attend The VEINS only will participate in The VEINS display posters featuring an interesting case or novel research.
