RS09. The Fundamentals of Vascular Surgery: A 6-Year Review of the First U.S. Dedicated Vascular Simulation Course

Duty-hour restrictions, changing training paradigms, and diminishing open surgical case volumes have caused dramatic shifts in vascular trainees experience over the past decade. While simulation training has been advocated as an augment to resident training, the benefits of short 3- to 4-day courses are largely unknown. The goal of this study was to perform a 6-year review of the first simulation course established for vascular trainees in the United States.
