Physicians in Training

VIVA is especially thankful for our 2021 scholarship supporters:

BD (formerly Bard Peripheral Vascular)

Boston Scientific

Cardiva Medical, Inc.

Cook Medical

Gore & Associates

HCA Healthcare

LimFlow

Medtronic

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. During the reception, physicians in training will rotate through each booth to learn about each company and develop relationships with supporters as advocates of PVD diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment.

VIVA's physicians-in-training program is growing, with a 30% attendee increase in 2019. After last year's virtual conference, we hope you will join us in-person in 2021 for a series of sessions designed to enhance your skill set as a vascular specialist and personal growth as an early-career professional.

All program attendees 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 should 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 during the final general session of the VIVA conference.

A limited number of scholarships to attend VIVA and The VEINS are available for qualifying fellows and residents. Scholarships include registration costs, roundtrip economy airfare, and up to 5 nights’ hotel room/tax (for arrival on either Saturday, October 2, for The VEINS or Sunday, October 3, for VIVA; departures should be after 6:00pm on October 7).
