SAVS CME Course Presentation Submission

Greetings fellow SAVS members!

We are excited to announce the format for the CME Postgraduate course at the 49th Annual Meeting in Saint Thomas, USVI this January 22-25, 2025. This year's theme similar to last year based on all the positive feedback and is named "Cases I Hope to Never See or Do Again". This is designed to try to educate us all on difficult cases and maybe infrequent options to treat patients we have seen in practice. This is a "show and tell" session to spur discussion and interaction amongst members in a collegial format. We would like to make the session as valuable for all members as possible.

This year, we are going to decrease the total number of presenters to 25 to allow for more time to discuss each technique. We are asking all of you to submit a particular case/surgical technique that you are proud of or cases that put you in a difficult situation and how you overcame it. If selected, you will be required to create a presentation or videoof the procedure. Presenters are asked to narrate any videos and presentations in person at the meeting and be available to answer questions.If a video is submitted, due to the complexities of making sure the videos work for the meeting, we will ask for them to be submitted at least one week prior to the meeting.

The session will be as good as we, the members, make it, so please submit your ideas today. There is no limit to submissions per faculty, but we hope to have 25 unique individuals present. We are looking for cases in all areas including venous, aortic, cerebrovascular, PVD and dialysis access including open and endovascular approaches.

In addition, we hope to inject some fun into the proceedings. We encourage all attendees to wear their best Island/Resort Attire and plan to have a prize for Best Outfit/Shirt/Dress. In addition, there will be cocktail service in lieu of the 2nd coffee break to assist with lively discussion. We look forward to seeing you all there!
