In 2021, the SVS approved a membership section dedicated to vascular surgeons in the first 0-10 years of practice. The mission of the Young Surgeons Section (YSS) of the SVS is to foster and accelerate the learning and career development of SVS members within their first ten years in clinical practice. We are excited to have Dr. Chelsea Dorsey and Dr. Leigh Ann O’Banion to discuss the evolution of the YSS, their plans for the upcoming VAM, and how people can get involved.
Dr. Chelsea Dorsey (@MdDorsey) is an Associate Professor of Surgery in the Section of Vascular Surgery at the University of Chicago and serves as the Vice Chair of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Department of Surgery. In keeping with her medical education interests, she was recently appointed the Associate Dean for Medical Student Academic Advising and Advancement at the Pritzker School of Medicine. She currently sits on a number of regional and national committees focused on surgical education and also serves on the SVS Communications and Appointments Committee. In January of this year, she was formally appointed the Chair of the newly formed SVS Young Surgeons Section.
Dr. Leigh Ann O'Banion (@limbsalvagedr) is an Assistant Professor of Vascular Surgery at UCSF Fresno, where she also completed her general surgery residency. She did her fellowship in vascular surgery at UCSF, graduated in 2017 and then returned to UCSF Fresno as an attending. She has a busy clinical practice with a focus on limb salvage and outcomes of vascular amputees and shares a passion for mentoring the next generation of vascular trainees. She is on the steering committee of the Young Surgeons Section of the SVS.
