CVC is committed to the education of fellows in order to train the future generation of leaders treating peripheral arterial and venous disease. Every year, CVC offers scholarships to fellows enrolled in accredited vascular surgery, cardiology/ interventional cardiology and interventional radiology fellowship programs. We are proud to announce that again this year, CVC has partnered with Boston Scientific in order to provide a limited number of fellows, which include registration fees, airfare/travel expenses (maximum $500) and registration fees.

Fellows are required to attend at least 2 full days of the conference in addition to one of the following sponsored events (during the conference dates):

Complex Lower Extremity & Carotid Interventions Hands-On Program, Monday evening, July 24
Facilitated by CVC faculty, this program will give special consideration to the management of CLI and the role of vessel prep in the era of drug elution. Faculty will also provide an update on standards of practice and procedural techniques for carotid interventions. Didactic sessions will be followed by the opportunity to interact with CVC faculty and gain valuable hands-on experience with the latest technologies in atherectomy, CTO crossing, stenting, and thrombectomy through the use of anatomical flow models and case simulation. (non-CME, sponsored by a grant from Boston Scientific).

This application process includes uploading a letter of good-standing from your Program Coordinator. Once an application is approved, hotel and flight reservations must coordinated with Luxe Travel.

There are only a limited number of scholarships available. After all scholarships have been granted, fellows must register formally online (www.cvcpvd.com)
