IP243. The Picture of a Vascular Surgeon

The Society for Vascular Surgery defines a vascular surgeon as an individual versed in all modalities of treatment for the vascular system. What exactly is included in this definition remains unclear to the lay public and, more important, to other health care providers who may not know to whom to refer their patients. Our goal is to illustrate the clinical picture of a vascular surgeon and how it has evolved during a decade at a tertiary care center and thereby help define the specialty for the purposes of branding and clarifying goals for training programs.
