Training in vascular surgery and a career in vascular surgery
Converted from Rich Text----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Peripheral vascular problems are now getting the attention after significant improvement in the cardiac care. There are few vascular surgeons and vascular surgical centers in the country. We will be requiring more number of trained doctors for taking care of the people with vascular problems. The National board of examinations has introduced 3 years course in vascular surgery in 3 centers in India. MCI is also going to start the MCh in vascular surgery in more centers soon. Nurses, technicians and other paramedical staff are needed to complete the vascular surgical services to the patients. At the same the needs of the people with arterial disorders is different from those with venous problems. Majority of the patients are now looking for the day care services and minimally invasive procedures. The hospitals have to gear up to face this challenge by providing new facilities focused around the day care for the vascular (arterial / venous) surgical patients. We hope that there is going to be bright future for those who are opting for the career in vascular surgery.
