title: Vascular surgery residency training curriculum.
abstract: The decision to establish a vascular surgery residency confers significant obligations on the institution, the program director, and the faculty. An optimal vascular residency training program must be carefully structured both organizationally and educationally. The Residency Review Committee for Surgery has developed a generally complete and well-reasoned group of requirements for the vascular residency. Nonetheless the program director has considerable latitude in shaping the residency to accommodate these requirements. Our institutional approach to the structure and content of vascular surgery residency training is presented herein.
