Comprehensive Review and Update of What’s New in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2021

Vascular Surgery CME from the Experts

A joint effort of the Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at UCLA and Society for Vascular Surgery, this online CME program focuses on the major pillars of vascular surgery: conventional open operations, catheter-based intervention (endovascular surgery), the medical aspect of patient management, and diagnostic imaging and noninvasive testing.

Comprehensive Review and Update of What’s New in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery lectures cover important recent developments, and roundtable Q&A sessions are ideal for board prep. In recognition of the increasingly important role of endovascular intervention, this CME program also provides an update on endovascular surgery together with relevant case presentations.
