One of the major goals of the Florida Vascular Society for the current academic year is to expand the membership by adding at least 25 new members. There are numerous advantages of being a member of organization that include the scientific content of the annual meeting,
the ability to mentor the next generation of vascular surgeons and the collegiality of individuals throughout the state that face the same challenges and successes of caring for patients with vascular disease.
The Florida Vascular Society has established the Membership Challenge 2025 to help meet our goals and sustain the vitality of the organization.
