November 2006
This is a special edition of the On the Cutting Edge, an e-newsletter from the Society for Vascular Surgery.
The ACGME recently approved new training paradigms that lead to
certification in vascular surgery only.
The new paradigms shorten the overall duration of training and provide more concentrated time to include the evolving new techniques within vascular surgery.
The first is a 5-year integrated program of which 3 years are devoted to vascular surgery and 2 years to core surgical training.
The second is a 6-year program that consists of 3 years vascular surgery training following 3 initial years of preliminary general surgery training in the same institution.
Both of these new programs are selected by fourth-year medical students in the standard matching program. In addition to these new possibilities, trainees may continue to pursue both general and vascular surgery training in the current sequential programs.
Currently, the following new training programs are available:
