As you have likely discovered through your general surgery residency training, there are many perks to being a surgeon. Your interviewing team wants to hear that you are aware of the negatives of the field and that you are armed to combat them. This is also a great question to test your overall picture of the field of vascular surgery.

"Before considering a future in vascular surgery, I weighed the pros and cons. I know I will be operating on very sick patients, and the job can be very demanding, but I am ready to take on that challenge to perform my best work for my patients. I also know that the hours are long and I can face some serious complications, both while in training and practice, but I'm confident in my ability to learn here and master my skills for a successful future."

Think carefully about this question so you can come prepared to discuss one or two perceived cons of practice in vascular surgery. You can speak from a high-level perspective of medicine or get into the weeds of vascular surgical care, but make sure to come prepared to discuss your mindset regarding the cons you discuss.
