The American Venous Forum is proud to offer an increased number of scholarships for physician trainees to attend our 2024 AVF Annual Meeting.  We will be offering 19, rather than 15 VENOUS2024 scholarships.

Our dedicated Residents & Fellows programming will take place during the first two days of our meeting and registered trainees are encouraged to participate in the entire VENOUS2024 agenda.  Trainees are also encouraged to participate as author or co-author of an abstract submitted for consideration for presentation at the meeting, but this is not required and will not be factored into the award decision.
