How would you like to see the delivery of surgical care evolve in the years to come?

"I see myself as a huge proponent for shorter hospital stays for patients and getting them back into their homes to recover. While this is a total care team effort, from the OR to the hospital floor and the primary care team, great things are being done in this realm currently and will only continue to improve with new technologies to monitor patients outside of the hospital setting. Less invasive procedures will continue to help get patients back on their feet and into normal life for vascular patients, and I'm excited to see these advance into the future."

Consider questions like this before your vascular surgery fellowship interviews so you are prepared to talk in an educated manner about how surgical procedures can and will evolve. There is no right or wrong answer to a question like this, so don't hesitate to give your professional opinion on things you'd love to see occur. Ensure that your interviewers see your passion for the advancement of care in the surgical field.
