Comparison of Vascular Surgery Operative Exposure for 0 + 5 Versus 5 + 2 Training Paradigms

The 0 + 5 vascular surgery training paradigm introduced in 2007 offered a unique training pathway for aspiring vascular surgeons. It is unclear whether this pathway provides more robust operative exposure to vascular surgery trainees than does the traditional 5 + 2 track. There remains limited information available on the current trends in case numbers of graduating residents to date. Our study seeks to compare the vascular surgery operative exposure for 0 + 5 vs 5 + 2 training paradigms.
