vascular surgery

Hi everyone - doesn't look like anyone has made one of these posts for this year's vascular fellowship applications so I thought I'd make one where we could put down our thoughts, questions, interview impressions, etc. Looks like interviews will be all virtual this year so I guess we won't get...

Hey everyone. I am a MS2 at a solid MD school that also has a home vascular program. I am pretty dead set on pursuing VS, and have made good connections with the residents and attendings at my home institution. I have been having trouble getting published. All of the case reports and abstracts...

Hello! Starting a vascular surgery sub-i next week. I am going into EM. I am not a surgeon, I just didn't want to do the medicine sub-i and instead chose for 2 weeks vascular and 2 weeks trauma surgery. Any advice on a resource for this elective? What should I focus my studying on? So far I...

Hey friends! Congrats, if you recently matched Vascular Surgery! Open question for all including previously matched, why did you choose Vascular Surgery? What about it drew you towards the field? I'd like to hear your stories! I think this sharing would be beneficial for those still ambivalent...
