Does the Vascular Surgery Board of the American Board of Surgery work?
Recommendations to form an independent American Board of Vascular Surgery were made several years ago by leaders in vascular surgery. All major vascular societies in the United States voted by majority rule to approve the formation of this organization. Although the Vascular Surgery Board of the American Board of Surgery is well intentioned, its focus and intentions are outdated because it is subservient to the American Board of Surgery.
