Abstract
Fellow SVMers:
Membership on society committees and participation in society activities is the lifeblood of the Society for Vascular Medicine. We are fortunate to have an enthusiastic, active society membership, which has made an impact on the specialty of vascular medicine and the care of patients with vascular diseases.
The theme of this edition of the Society for Vascular Medicine Communication Page is participation. A number of important committees of SVM are looking for members to participate in the activities of running the society and to contribute to the care of patients with vascular disease. If you have ever had any interest in improving the care of patients with vascular disease, or in participating in the growth of the specialty of vascular medicine, or in improving medical knowledge about clinical vascular disease, then participation in a society committee is right for you!
There are many benefits of society committee work in addition to those listed above. Committees are a great opportunity to meet more like-minded colleagues, and to share ideas about the future of vascular medicine, as well as contribute to shaping it. At the heart of our mission, as a society and specialty, are the activities of the Education Committee. This committee is tasked with the all-important goal of developing and disseminating information about vascular disease for our members as well as interested colleagues in the vascular community. Please read about this and all of our committees below and consider volunteering to be a part of this important process as you participate in the Society for Vascular Medicine.
And remember, the Society for Vascular Medicine needs you. Your interest, perspective, and enthusiasm will drive the further development of our specialty and our society’s success!
