In addition to support from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Center for Continuing Education in the Health Sciences and The Division of Vascular Surgery, the Vascular Surgery Medical Grand Rounds Series is supported by a grant from Medtronic, Inc. and Cook Medical, Inc.

The purpose of the Vascular Surgery Grand Rounds Series is to provide vascular surgeons, residents, and nursing personnel with up-to-date knowledge of surgical issues encountered in vascular surgery.
