The Australian experience in training and certification of vascular surgery.
Training in vascular surgery in Australia and New Zealand has been closely related to the policies and politics of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. It has evolved from being part of the training for General Surgery through a two year post Fellowship training program in Vascular Surgery commencing in 1985 to the establishment in 1996, by the College, of a Board in Vascular Surgery responsible for training and examining in Vascular Surgery as specialty independent of the Board in General Surgery.
