Professional Development & Academic Pathway

Pathway Lead: Mr. David R Lewis (Newport, Wales, UK) Shadow Lead: Sanna Kouhia (Espoo, Finland)

The Professional Development & Academic Pathway for 2025 is brought to you by The Academy of the ESVS. This pathway has evolved to keep pace with the demands of Vascular Surgeons and Vascular Surgical Trainees across Europe and beyond. The online and face-to-face workshops are delivered by an enthusiastic and highly skilled faculty from Austria, Finland, The Netherlands, Spain and the UK. Whether you are looking for ways to maximise your chances of passing professional vascular surgical exams, looking for ways to enhance your curriculum vitae through publication or looking to make yourself a better and safer surgeon through understanding non-technical skills and human factors, this pathway has something for you.
