The Hospital Visiting Surgeon Program (HVSP) and Reverse Visiting Surgeon Program (RVSP) are uniquely designed educational experiences offered to healthcare professionals (HCPs) to provide a very focused world-class training experience. HCPs will have the opportunity to learn about S+N procedures and product solutions. Each visit provides a customized agenda based on the individual educational requirements. Participation may include surgical and clinical preceptorships, dinner symposiums and cadaveric lab participation.

Virtual Visiting Surgeon Program (VVSP)
Medical Education is offering digital education opportunities to effectively meet the ongoing needs of our surgeons and provide training through ease of access online programs. The Virtual Visiting Surgeon Program is designed to offer HCPs an individualized training experience. Participation will include a virtual surgical preceptorship utilizing AVAIL technology.

Peer to Peer (P2P)
Peer to Peer calls include presentation and discussion surrounding S+N products and techniques, tips and pearls, as well as a focus on clinical outcomes and data. These are available with many of our experienced surgeon faculty. Utilizing the Microsoft Teams platform, calls are typically between one and two hours.

Sunshine Law

Under the federal “Sunshine Law”, all medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers, including Smith & Nephew, are required to track and report payments and transfers of value to US-licensed physicians and teaching hospitals. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the Final Rule on February 1, 2013. Manufacturers must begin to collect the required data on August 1, 2013 and report the data collected through December 31, 2013 to CMS by March 31, 2014. CMS will publish the reported data on a publicly available website by September 30, 2014. Smith & Nephew is committed to full compliance with the Sunshine law. In order to comply, we will report payments and transfers of value provided to US-licensed physicians including the following in accordance to the Final Rule:

Transportation expenses
Lodging or accommodations
Meals
Certain educational materials (e.g. medical textbooks and journal reprints; S&N published items are not reportable)
Other items that have an independent value
