2009 President's Message<< Back to President's Message Listing
While the Scientific Program continues to produce exceedingly high quality papers, the Mock Oral Exams have emerged as a cornerstone attraction for our vascular trainees. Recorder Tom Huber’s efforts are making the mock orals an important assessment for trainees throughout our region, assisting both trainees as well as program directors in any perceived fellow deficiencies. The environment of these exams provides regional fellows familiarization with the nature of oral board examination and the SAVS. Expanding participation by fellows can only richen this experience in future years. Next year’s annual meeting at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort will be held January 14-17. Efforts are already underway to make this another valued gathering in terms of the scientific program, postgraduate course, mock oral exams, and the social events. Please set aside time now to attend this meeting and enjoy the beauty of winter in the Arizona dessert. I look forward to seeing you in Tucson. TOM
Thomas C. Naslund, M.D. |
