2023 Mid-Atlantic Conference

Save the Date: April 20-22, 2023

Welcome to the 11th annual Current Concepts in Vascular Therapies Mid-Atlantic Conference at the beautiful Virginia Beach oceanfront. The symposium will offer up to 12.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ as well as maintenance of certification (MOC) credits. The sessions will be led by regional and national experts on a wide spectrum of vascular topics and directed towards healthcare professionals caring for patients with these conditions. A multidisciplinary panel of speakers from vascular surgery, vascular medicine, neurology and cardiology will provide insight into medical management as well as open and endovascular techniques. Topics will include peripheral arterial disease, aortic aneurysms and dissection, complex venous problems and cerebrovascular disease. Question and answer sessions, expert debates and panel discussions will help fulfill our mission of excellent patient care and high level education for healthcare professionals. We hope you are able to join us this spring at the beach.
