MVSS Medical Student Education Program
The Society thanks all of the Medical Students who attended and Members who presented at the Midwestern Vascular Surgical Society’s 7th Annual, 2021 Virtual Medical Student Education Program, “Introduction to Vascular Surgery” held on Tuesday, September 7, 2021.
During the past six years of the course, the Society has attracted over 150 medical students from 25 different Midwestern Medical Schools who were interested in learning more about the specialty of Vascular Surgery.
The primary goal of this program is to introduce the specialty of Vascular Surgery as a career choice to medical students from the Midwest region. The program provides a unique opportunity for medical students at all levels to interact with members and leaders of the Midwestern Vascular Surgical Society (MVSS). Vascular Surgery faculty and trainees participating in the program have a particular interest in medical student education and mentorship.
The Society looks forward to an in-person 8th Medical Student Education Program next year in Grand Rapids featuring both didactic presentations and the skills session. Visit back for additional information to be available in Spring 2022.
