Dear Colleagues, Vascular surgery is a small specialty. We’re lucky if we have more than a handful of colleagues practicing nearby. Seeing our power in numbers is one reason the Vascular Annual Meeting is not to be missed. I get goose bumps thinking about it. I invite you to attend the 2014 Vascular Annual Meeting in Boston. Connect with your colleagues, learn about the most current research, see the latest devices and products, and get ideas that will help your practice today. See you in Boston!
Julie A. Freischlag, MD President, Society for Vascular Surgery Vice Chancellor, Human Health Sciences Dean, University of California Davis School of Medicine
