It is expected that the population of baby boomers will rise 20 percent in five years and 50 percent in 10 years. Recently introduced, integrated vascular surgery training programs, which provide a primary certificate in vascular surgery only, will result in a shortened vascular surgery training period for junior residents or medical students who choose vascular surgery early on.
