My work week is busy, but there is no question that the 
most important part of my life is my family. And I rarely miss
my kids’ soccer games, basketball games or tennis matches.
It’s a wonderful opportunity, particularly for women who
want to have children, raise a family.

Balance is a word you probably heard all through college and medical school – and there is a great deal to be gained by creating that balance in your life. Your colleagues will tell you that vascular surgery stands as one of the few medical specialties that will allow you to achieve such a balance.
Personal relationships and family are paramount in the lives of vascular surgeons. One female vascular surgeon at a major medical center found her career flexible enough to arrange her schedule to work part-time to accommodate the need to care for her newborn.
In the 21st Century, a career in vascular surgery allows you to focus on your family and home life, as well as your patients and their lives.
