Dr. Shutze is a vascular surgeon with Texas Vascular Associates in Dallas, Texas and the Secretary of the SVS. Dr. Shutze completed his medical studies at Baylor University after completing general surgery residency at University of Alabama in Birmingham. Dr. Shutze returned to Baylor to complete his vascular fellowship. Dr. Shutze is one of the Get a Pulse on PAD initiative’s chairs and a leading expert in PAD. He has actively published in the field with over 100 abstracts and articles, with his most recent work focusing on prosthetics, and advocating for successful prosthetic referral after amputation. 

Dr. Dua is a vascular surgeon at Mass General Hospital and associate professor at Harvard Medical School. At Mass General, she is the director of the Vascular Lab, co-director of the Peripheral Artery Disease Center and Limb Evaluation and Amputation Program (LEAPP), associate director of the Wound Care Center, director of the Lymphedema Center and director of clinical research for the division of vascular surgery.
