OVERVIEW

Max R. Gaspar, MD, was an attending surgeon at the Los Angeles County Hospital for over fifty years, and served as a Senior Vascular Attending at LAC+USC for twenty-five years. His teaching and scholarly accomplishments have had a lasting impact on vascular surgery in Southern California. This annual symposium addresses topics of interest to physicians and surgeons who care for the patient with vascular disease. The topic of the 2022 Max R. Gaspar, MD Symposium is "Answers to Difficult Clinical Questions in Vascular Surgery." 

A distinguished faculty is assembled for the symposium, designed to update the attendee on innovation and new strategies. Sixteen didactic and video lectures will be given to encompass the topics. This hybrid conference puts aside designated time for question and answer sessions following each presentation. Attendees can submit questions that program faculty presenters may review and share their response. This year we are delighted to have Dr. William Shutze, as our visiting Gaspar Professor. Dr. Shutze will give his symposium address, followed by his Gaspar lecture the following day at the USC Health Sciences Campus.
