The points allocated for research requirements are as follows:

In addition to the stated research requirements one presentation or publication must be completed during the course of current surgical training.

The Board agreed that the research requirement would be counted if a trainee had completed a higher degree and had published in a referred journal in a medical field prior to commencing vascular training.

These revised research requirements would take effect in 2010 and trainees would be required to complete all requirements prior to application for the Fellowship examination.
