PROGRAM

Established in 1987, the biennial Strandness Symposium provides a comprehensive review and update on diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to vascular disease, along with valuable training and educational opportunities for attendees provided by leading experts. The symposium carries on the work of Dr. D. Eugene Strandness, “the father of the vascular laboratory,” through engaging and challenging lectures, case presentations, and workshops.  The Strandness Symposium’s continuing medical educational activities have been designed to meet the specialized educational needs of vascular surgeons, cardiologists, radiologists, vascular medicine specialists, vascular sonographers, fellows and residents, nurses, and other allied health professionals who care for people with vascular disease or perform noninvasive diagnostic tests.

FACULTY

The Strandness Symposium features powerhouse lectures, case presentations, and hands-on workshops taught by the very best minds in the field.

VASCULAR FORUM

The Vascular Forum is a special program designed to promote education and career development for trainees pursuing careers related to the care of patients with vascular disease. A part of the Strandness Symposium since 2015, the Vascular Forum program is open to students and physicians-in-training, including residents and fellows in vascular surgery, radiology, and cardiology. The Vascular Lab Interpretation and RPVI Review sessions will provide an ideal learning opportunity for physicians-in training and those interested in certification in vascular ultrasound interpretation.

WORKSHOPS

There will be three workshop tracks on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoons that will run concurrently. The two Scan Lab tracks are for those attendees interested in learning more about testing protocols, scanning techniques, and instrumentation. Each Scan Lab session will be repeated once so attendees can participate in both tracks. The Vascular Lab Interpretation and RPVI Review track will provide an overview of physical principles, clinical applications, image interpretation, and reporting.
