My name is Samuel Nussbaum and I graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and Psychology. I have had multiple research positions with Mayo Clinic Florida, starting when I was still in college when I was a part of the Clinical Research Internship Study Program during the summer in between my Sophomore and Junior year. There I was in the Vascular Surgery Division and worked on a project looking at the effects of hyperglycemia on vascular surgery. After college I returned to Mayo in the Division of Vascular Surgery as a Research Trainee and later as a Special Project Associate in the Surgery Department where I have been fortunate to work on many different projects and have had multiple case reports and manuscripts published. I have had two of these projects accepted to be presented at the 2020 SVS conference in Toronto, however the conference was cancelled due to Covid-19 and I was unable to present there, though I was able to present an abstract at last year’s SVS conference in San Diego.
