GVC Mentee Survey

The Global Vascular Companionship aims to facilitate the training of surgeons to provide essential vascular surgery in underserved areas. It is a framework through which interested vascular units world wide are connected with aspiring individual surgeons or units who would like to develop a vascular service. The program will match and connect aspiring units with established ones, and will provide practical examples of how the companionship might best work.

The overall vision for the program is to see every country with a population of greater than 100,000, and every tertiary hospital caring for more than 5 million people (without a functioning referral pathway to a centre that has vascular surgery), having access to at least one surgeon trained to provide essential vascular surgery.

The below survey aims to capture information about your hospital, as well as your interest in participating in the program.
