Abstract:
The training of vascular surgeons in Canada has evolved over the past decade. Direct entry into a vascular surgery training program after medical school has been offered since 2012. At some institutions, it is the only option for surgery training. The smaller population of Canada and a single-payer health care system has resulted in unique opportunities and challenges for the training of vascular surgeons and providing opportunities for trainees to transition into clinical practice.
