Source limitations and conflicting information
The society listing identifies a programme contact, not a dated vacancy or a promise of admission/visa sponsorship.
The society profile describes training settings and scope, not guaranteed individual cases or an advertised current vacancy. Integrated-residency requirements are not transferred to the fellowship.
Only the explicitly shared salary/employer section is applied to fellows. The page’s Residency Application Requirements are not silently imposed on the vascular fellowship, and SharePoint salary links are not treated as read tables.
