The SVS has officially announced its new Mentor Match program on its online community, SVSConnect. This program provides a simple way to match general surgery residents and medical students with vascular surgeons who will, ideally, help guide them on their career path. Our resident and student members have been awaiting a program like this, and it will only be successful if we have a large pool of Active SVS members enrolled as mentors. Mentees will be able to enroll soon, at which time the matching process will begin. Please look out for communication from us for when that occurs.  Questions? Reach out to communications@vascularsociety.org.
