AMERICAN BOARD OF
VASCULAR SURGERY

With the ever-growing direction of Vascular Surgery,
it no longer fits into the boundaries of General Surgery.

It is vitally important to support us in our mission, that is, to create
an American Board of Medical Specialties Approved Board

Advancing Vascular Surgery

Why We Need a Board

Vascular Surgery is a subspecialty of General Surgery, but over the years has evolved into its own specialty.

The public’s perception, including that of general practitioners, of a vascular surgeon, is a specialist who performs heart and other cardiothoracic procedures.

As an American Board of Medical Specialties approved board, the American Board of Vascular Surgery can address all of the above and move our specialty forward.

Due to the many diagnostic and endovascular advancements, patients need a specialist who is fully capable and exclusively performs surgical and/or endovascular interventions as well as updated in the latest pharmacological therapies. Unfortunately, general surgeons simply do not have the training or means to deliver the same kind of care vascular surgeons can deliver.

Americans are living longer. As a result, there is a growing population of patients, mostly elderly, who present with various forms of arterial and venous vascular disease. Right now there is a shortage of vascular surgeons and an overflow of cases referred to surgeons who are not trained or “dabble” in vascular surgery that result in poor patient outcomes.

It is simply unfair for patients to have any vascular surgery procedure performed on them by a general surgeon or others without the training or expertise a vascular surgeon provides.

Vascular surgery is not in full control of where, as well as how many, surgeons are trained for our specialty. Vascular Surgery must be able to oversee their own training paradigms and residency review committee (RRC) just as other medical boards do.

A Message Board For Surgeons,
Designed to Help the Greater Good

We can only encourage that all American practicing vascular surgeons join our community. It is imperative that we grow together as vascular surgeons in an effort to achieve our goal. Diagnose, treat, and serve our patients with the highest quality and integrity. With our groundbreaking message board, you will be able to communicate, interact with us, and connect with other vascular surgeons to discuss this issue, and work with us to achieve independence. Let’s start a conversation and grow our community.

We invite all to participate because together, we have the ability to incite change.
