Vail, Colorado February 18 20, 2018 PROGRAM OVERVIEW Minneapolis Radiology & Vascular Research Foundation
OVERVIEW Fellows at CARVE, an innovative educational program designed specifically for Fellows in Training, introduced last year and met with great enthusiam, returns in 2018! Held in conjunction with the CARVE conferece now in its 11th year Fellows at CARVE brings all of the insights and interactivity of CARVE to this important audience. Fellows will experience the spirit of cross-collaboration so important in clinical practice, gaining a better understanding of the intertwined roles of interventional radiology, vascular surgery and interventional cardiology. This invitation-only educational event kicks off with a welcome reception and dinner, followed by a full-day of didactic presentations, panel discussions, debates, and a structured technology exhibition showcase. On day three, the program dovetails nicely with the kick-off of the CARVE meeting which features a Fellows Case Competition. All Fellows are invited to extend their experience and participate in CARVE with complimentary registration. Industry Support The Minneapolis Radiology & Vascular Research Foundation is delighted to partner with industry organizations to offer this unique program. Industry support is critical and enables up to 25 applicants the opportunity to attend the Fellows at CARVE program by providing travel allowance and lodging. Audience This program is designed for Fellows training in the fields of vascular surgery, interventional radiology, and interventional cardiology, and senior-level vascular surgery residents. A demographically diverse group of approximately 25 Fellows will be invited to participate in the program based on applications submitted by December 3, 2017. Program Format This program features lectures supplemented with expert panel discussions, debates, and networking opportunities to allow interactive learning and an in-depth understanding of the program s core concepts. Technology Exhibition Exhibitors have the unique opportunity to showcase their innovations during a technology exhibition with extensive one-onone with Fellows. Fellows will be encouraged to interact with all exhibitors. At the beginning of the technology exhibition, each Fellow will be given a report card that can be stamped by booth representatives after completion of the booth activities. The report card serves as an incentive to encourage Fellows to visit with all exhibitors. In a structured fashion, Fellows will rotate to each booth where they will have exposure to featured devices and technology. Each rotation will last approximately 10 minutes. At the completion of the exhibition, all completed report cards will be entered into a drawing for a prize. Fellows Mentorship Program New this year, Fellows at CARVE will have a unique experience to share candid conversation with a senior CARVE participant or faculty member. Fellows and mentors will be paired up based on specialty, desired career paths, and mutual interests. Mentors and Fellows will be given time during the CARVE Welcome Reception to meet and socialize in a relaxed environment, focusing on job search, career pitfalls, networking, and making the leap from fellow to attending.
OVERVIEW Industry Dinners As all attendees will come from different areas of training and specialties, we aim to provide exposure to technology and devices they may not have seen or heard of in the past. In addition to the technology exhibition, 2-3 Fellows will be paired up with an organization they may not have had much exposure to during their training thus far. Each participating industry organization will then be responsible for continuing conversation over dinner. Each participating organization will be responsible for arranging their own dinner reservations. Case Competition An anticipated highlight of the program is the The Best and The Worst Case Competition. In addition to attending lectures and the technology exhibition, each Fellow must present a short case to qualify for travel reimbursement. Each Fellow will be prepared with two case presentations, a best case and a case where an unexpected complication occurred, highlighting how the Fellow got out of trouble. Which case the Fellow will present will be assigned on the spot. Fellows will have five minutes to present their case, followed by up to two minutes of questioning by a panel of judges. After every Fellow has presented their case, the judges deliberate and will announce the top three case presentations. Prizes will be awarded. All cases must be endovascular, either arterial or venous in nature. Coronary cases or open surgical cases will be disqualified. Hybrid cases are permitted. Cases will be published subsequent to the meeting on the CARVE website. 1st Annual Women of CARVE Luncheon CARVE and Fellows at CARVE are honored to present the 1st Annual Woman of CARVE Luncheon. This new experience will take place over lunch on Tuesday, February 20th, after the Fellows at CARVE case competition. The Luncheon is open to all female CARVE attendees as well as female Fellows at CARVE. Key female leaders within industry will join the luncheon to discuss national trends in vascular interventions, networking, career advances, and professional obstacles as they pertain to women.
