“…A survey of recent graduates distributed by members of the Association of Program Directors in Vascular Surgery aimed to assess any differences in training experiences and job search satisfaction between VSFs and VSRs. 13 In a survey sent to the 2013 VSR graduates and the corresponding VSFs from their institutions, no statistically significant difference was found between operative experience, dedicated research time, satisfaction with their training, and experiences during their job searches with respect to starting salaries, numbers of offers, and desired practice type. 13 This survey did find that VSFs have a higher average number of interviews offered and that VSRs tended toward more academic positions than their fellow counterparts.…”

“…In fact, Colvard et al. 34 surveyed nine recent 0 + 5 graduates, and they reported an open vascular caseload that was similar to 16 recent 5 + 2 graduates. In addition, 0 + 5 graduates described positive experiences in the job market.…”

“…However, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions given the small number of 0 + 5 graduates. 34 The impact that these few experiences will have remains to be seen but may they have implications on the popularity of 0 + 5 programs if new graduates continue to encounter positive experiences in the job market.…”

“…10 Although we observed no difference between vascular residents and fellows in experience with infrapopliteal vein bypass, residents performed more infrapopliteal endovascular procedures than fellows did, a finding similar to that of other analyses. 8,9,11 We hypothesized that certain training programs might focus more heavily on endovascular therapy than on open therapy with, as a consequence, trainee experience that would favor either an endovascular or open approach to infrapopliteal disease. This was not the case.…”

Objective: Endovascular aneurysm repair has led to a significant reduction in vascular trainee experience in the surgical treatment of aortic aneurysms. We sought to evaluate whether the vascular training paradigm or the "endovascular first" approach to lower extremity vascular disease has had a similar effect on trainee experience with infrapopliteal endovascular therapy and vein bypass. Methods: Deidentified data were provided by the Vascular Surgery Board on the number of procedures performed by each 2014 fellowship and residency (0 þ 5) graduate during training. Data were analyzed using parametric and nonparametric methods, where appropriate. Results: Of 125 trainees (109 fellows, 16 residents), 33 (27%) performed 10 or fewer infrapopliteal vein bypasses and 37 (29%) performed 10 or fewer infrapopliteal endovascular procedures during their training. Eleven trainees (9%) performed 10 or fewer of both procedures. There was a positive correlation between number of infrapopliteal vein bypass and endovascular procedures performed (r ¼ 0.19; P ¼ .03). There was no difference between fellows and residents in the mean number of bypass operations performed during training (17.3 vs 19.1; P ¼ .50; range, 0-53). However, residents performed more infrapopliteal endovascular procedures than fellows did (median, 29 vs 16; P ¼ .03; range, 0-128). Conclusions: More than one in four graduates of both training paradigms finish with a low number of infrapopliteal bypasses and endovascular interventions. The number of these procedures needed for proficiency is not known. Vascular surgery training programs should critically evaluate the number of infrapopliteal procedures required to achieve proficiency.
