Hi guys,
I am MS3 interested in vascular surgery. I think there are various new opportunities for innovation in the field. I know it is a competitive integrated path, though I am not sure if it is compared to say ortho, ENT or neurosurgery. It doesn't appear so from

The above makes me think I have a shot at a good program even though there are only 50+ spots.
The only other thing is I am wondering why there aren't more applicants to this field like ortho or neurosurgery? JAMA actually shows crazy hours, even compared to neurosurgery. I have done the vascular rotation as a student and likely I am not seeing the full extent of their hours...so can someone enlighten me whether what I have said is accurate?
I was always under the impression that neurosurg worked the most. It seems like neurosurgery is more competitive and makes more money per hour. Is this true? Why aren't more people interested?
