Scholarship
Venous2023 Physician-in-Training Scholarships
The American Venous Forum to award 15 scholarships for VENOUS2023 – the AVF Annual Meeting!
As a tangible expression of our commitment to our Core Values, the AVF is pleased to announce our VENOUS2023 Physician-in-Training Scholarships. We will award 10 US scholarships and 5 International scholarships that will cover VENOUS2023 registration fees and 2 nights lodging at the La Cantera Resort, San Antonio – our host hotel.
Scholarship awardees will be assigned an AVF member as a mentor to collaborate with while at the meeting. Specific programming and events aimed at trainees will be offered. Trainees are 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.
