ISSVA is a multidisciplinary international society of physicians, scientists and healthcare providers united by an interest in vascular anomalies, which are developmental disorders involving blood and lymphatic vasculature, such as vascular malformations and neoplasms.
“It is a great honor to represent the University of South Alabama and the Department of Pathology in an international scientific society, and to work with other experts in the field to help shape the scientific agenda of the society in the upcoming year,” Phung said.
The Scientific Committee, which consists of about 10 international experts in the field, drives the organization’s scientific initiatives. The committee oversees the Scientific Program of ISSVA’s World Congress, including the abstract review and selection process.
Phung’s service on the committee will conclude with the next World Congress, scheduled to be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, in May 2022.
ISSVA aims to promote the highest standards of care for patients with vascular anomalies by advancing clinical and scientific knowledge concerning causes, diagnosis and treatment, and by education of physicians, healthcare providers, patients and the community.
