SVU Signature Labs
Make your vascular lab stand out over all the others… Become a SVU Signature Lab!
Why Should You Become a Signature Lab Member?
Going through the accreditation process for your lab, you were able to demonstrate to your patients a high-level of competence and quality. Why not demonstrate a commitment to professional development as well?
SVU is dedicated to advancing the field of vascular ultrasound. Member benefits include access to more than 33 vascular-focused CME credits (at least 18 are free with membership per year), which are required to maintain accreditation. In addition to this benefit, your lab will receive:
- Access to the Signature Lab Member logo to be used on your website, business cards and marketing material to demonstrate your commitment to staff excellence and to the field.
- A certificate to designate your practice as a Signature Lab.
