Congratulations to Ulka Sachdev-Ost, MD, who has been awarded T35 funding from the National Institutes of Health/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) for her Summer Research in Vascular Surgery (SRVS) program. Dr. Sachdev’s SRVS program will expose medical students to vascular surgery and the research that informs the specialty. The program’s aims are to increase the number of researchers and innovators in vascular surgery, which is expected to see a workforce shortfall in the future, and meet the needs of our aging population, satisfying the strategic vision of NHLBI including understanding human biology, reducing human disease, developing workforce and resources, and advancing translational research.
