Faculty Sign-Up

We need qualified practicing surgeons to be the 'Viper' and 'Jester' and participate as judges at the SAVS Skills Competition this year.

The planning committee asks that you please consider signing up for this great opportunity as you will be attending the SAVS 49th Annual Meeting this January in Saint Thomas, USVI. The Top Gun event has always been a highlight of the year for those of us involved in Vascular training and we hope that you share in the excitement. You do not need to be faculty at a teaching institution to help with this effort, just be excited about the future of our specialty.
SIGN-UP AS FACULTY

We welcome as many of you as would like to participate to sign up. Regardless, you are welcome to attend the event and enjoy the camaraderie, cocktails and competition.
