The ESVS is looking for a motivated member to become the next Chair of the E-Committee as from June 2024 and for a 3-year term. The successful candidate will shadow the current Chair from June 2023 until June 2024.
The main focus of the E-Committee is the development of the E-Library: a “state-of-the-art” online educational seeking to develop knowledge in vascular surgery. The E Committee also includes two separate working groups: the podcast group and the editors of the ESVS electronic textbook – Virtual Vascular.
The platform includes various educational materials, such as videos from ESVS events (Webinars, Masterclasses, Annual Meetings and more), podcasts, abstract books and other documents. In addition, the e-library is a home to “Virtual Vascular” with chapters on pre-defined topics written by experts in different fields of vascular surgery and updated on a regular basis. More recently, the e-committee has been working on launching E-Learning – interactive online modules which use a multitude of resources from our e library to follow case studies and teach specific areas of vascular surgery. The chair of the E-Committee will form the link between the E-Committee, the Podcast group and the Virtual Vascular editors group.
In this light, we are delighted to announce this call for candidates to lead the enthusiastic members of ESVS e-committee in a role of Committee Chair.
