Abstract
With the ongoing development of endovascular techniques and technologies, treatment of cerebrovascular disease is evolving at a fast pace.

In this article, we discuss the changes perceived to enable residents to acquire the multifaceted understanding and skill set necessary to meet the new clinical reality and prepare to become the leaders of tomorrow in the management of cerebrovascular disease.
