Characterizing the development of visual search expertise in pathology residents viewing whole slide images
Summary: The goal of this study was to examine and characterize changes in the ways that pathology residents examine digital whole slide images as they progress through the residency training. A series of 20 digitized breast biopsy whole slide images (half benign and half malignant biopsies) were individually shown to 4 pathology residents at four points in time—at the beginning of their first, second, third, and fourth years of residency. Their task was to examine each image and select three areas that they would most want to zoom in on in order to view the diagnostic detail at higher resolution. Eye position was record...

Perceptions of Society for Vascular Surgery Members and Surgery Department Chairs of the Integrated 0 + 5 Vascular Surgery Training Paradigm
Conclusions: Overall perceptions of 0 + 5 graduates were positive and indicated their likely acceptance into the VS workforce. Although there were some reservations regarding the 0 + 5 graduates’ maturity level and open operative skills, the surgical community was willing to interview and hire these trainees for staff positions. Further follow-up will be required to evaluate their performance in clinical practice.

Are Graduating Surgical Residents Confident in Performing Open Vascular Surgery? Results of a National Survey
General surgical training has changed significantly over the past decade with work-hour restrictions, increasing use of minimally invasive techniques, and increasing specialization, leading to decreased resident exposure to open operative techniques. Furthermore, the presence of vascular surgery fellows and the advent of dedicated vascular surgery residencies have had the potential to diminish further the vascular surgery experience of general surgery residents. Given these changes, this study was undertaken to assess the confidence of graduating general surgery residents in performing certain key open vascular maneuvers, ...

Pediatric Vascular Injuries: Are We Preparing Trainees Appropriately to Meet our Needs?
Various surgical specialists manage pediatric vascular trauma. The volume of pediatric vascular trauma cases performed by vascular surgeons has increased, while those performed by pediatric surgeons has decreased over time. As integrated surgical specialty residencies expand, surgical specialists managing these patients should be provided with operative training experience in both pediatric and vascular surgery.

Mind Games: When Do Medical Student Career Aspirations Correlate With Simulated Surgical Skills Station Performance?
A high level of technical ability is required of vascular surgeons. Medical students pursuing integrated vascular residency programs have limited surgical skills to demonstrate compared with traditional vascular surgery fellowship candidates. As the number of integrated vascular training programs continues to increase, it will become increasingly important to determine if the performance of basic surgical skills provides any indication of which integrated candidates have innate technical ability.

Are primary care physicians aware of peripheral artery disease risk reduction and management in the Saudi healthcare transformation era? A health cluster observational study
CONCLUSION: Here we identified the knowledge and action gaps among primary care providers in Saudi Arabia. Physicians had an excellent attitude about screening for and counseling about risk factors. However, they showed less interference in reducing these risk factors. We recommend addressing these knowledge gaps early in medical school and residency programs.PMID:34554018 | DOI:10.1177/17085381211044397

Future of Vascular Surgery
I am a Canadian student hoping to apply to Canadian programs in Vascular and General Surgery with the option of applying to American vascular fellowships after GSx. Here, most (all?) vascular programs have moved to 0+5 model. I am wondering how things look in the US? Are you guys also phasing out the 5+2 model? Also interested in any info on vascular fellowships in America, I hear you guys have it rough in residency. I am in first year so a lot can change by the time I would be finishing GSx... Read more

The job search thread: tips, tricks, and experiences
I thought the PMSR/RRA Residency Review thread was beneficial (though it kind of died after an initial wave of reviews), and after navigating the job search far outside of the geographic footprint of my own residency program, I wanted to have a centralized thread where you could read how others went through the process. I will post my own experience soon once I've wrapped everything up, but there should be some new practitioners who are willing to share. If you would like to contribute...

Thoracic Option after Integrated Vascular(0+5)
As I understand it, currently the only way to enter a two/three year cardiothoracic fellowship is to have completed a 5-7 year general surgery residency and be eligible for board certification in general surgery. Does anyone have any knowledge about whether or not a integrated vascular graduate would ever be able to enter into a thoracic fellowship as an independent applicant? Would a 0+5 vascular program be thought of as inadequate preparation to handle a thoracic fellowship? Or would it be... Thoracic Option after Integrated Vascular(0+5)

We were winning
In response to the growing need for vascular surgeons and the decreasing interest in vascular surgery fellowships, the first vascular surgery integrated residencies (VSIRs) were started with six male residents in 2007. The impact of this new training paradigm was seen rather quickly and dramatically. The program was incredibly popular and competitive. Compared with the traditional 5  + 2 fellowship applicants, the VSIR applicants seemed to be more qualified (increased number of additional degrees and publications as well as top quartile performance).

Do Fewer Years of Training Lead to Worse Outcomes? A Comparison of Integrated Residency vs Fellowship-Trained Vascular Surgeons
Early sub-specialization through “integrated” residencies decrease the total years of surgical training. Whether graduates of integrated vascular surgical residencies achieve comparable outcomes to fellowship-trained surgeons once in practice has not been studied. We designed this study to evaluate whether differences exist in clinical outcomes between graduates of integrated vascular surgery residencies (IVSR) as compared with vascular surgery fellowship (VSF) programs.

Invited commentary
The update on workforce diversity in vascular surgery by Dorsey et  al1 is an important report defining the strides that we have and have not made in diversifying the physician faces of vascular surgery. The authors compared the number of female, black, and Hispanic medical students and residents in vascular surgery (integrated residency and fellowship), general s urgery, and orthopedic surgery over time. Specifically, they evaluated each year from 2013 to 2017 and compared those numbers to a historical period from 1999 to 2005.
