Conferences

The Society for Vascular Medicine hosts two major conferences annually:

  • The Vascular Scientific Sessions. This is an annual international medical conference held in the United States. It focuses on clinical vascular medicine as well as vascular-related medical research (including basic science, translational science, outcomes science and clinical trials).
  • The Society for Vascular Medicine Fellows and Advanced practice nurse Course.
