- Abstract:
- Lengthy training, detouring via general surgical training, the only EU-wide status as an additive subspecialty without international recognition and hitherto inferior training in endovascular techniques all make it difficult to train qualified vascular surgeons in Austria. By developing a curriculum closely based on the European Board of Vascular Surgery (EBVS) standards, the Austrian Society for Vascular Surgery (A-GG) tries to internationalize training and to include the teaching of endovascular techniques. The large variety in content and trainers necessitates more structuring and better regulation of vascular surgical training to achieve comparable standards. Thorough documentation of all training steps will make these transparent also in later medical practice. Lengthy training and lack of international recognition can only be overcome by creating a separate specialty of vascular surgery. Instituting a medical specialty of vascular medicine, which would combine all competences of angiology, endovascular procedures and vascular surgery, might be a further point for discussion.
