VEITHsymposium International The VEITHsymposium, which is sponsored and accredited by the Cleveland Clinic, is organizing an International Guest Faculty Program (IGFP) to attract practicing international vascular specialists for participation in the November 2018 symposium. These specialists will apply for symposium faculty status under a new faculty designation, International Guest Faculty (IGF). The objective of this program is to have international vascular specialists participate as Faculty to educate U.S. physicians and others in European advances. They will do this in one of three ways: moderators of sessions, individual presentations of original scientific or clinical case information, and podium discussants of cases presented in a Case Presentation session. The selection process requires an abstract submission of 250 words maximum. The presenter's name and institution should be included on the abstract. Accepted abstracts will be published, with the consent of the presenter, in a Supplement to the Journal of Vascular Surgery. Types of Participation
