Vascular Surgery Fellowship
The goal of this 5+2-year, independent, ACGME-approved vascular surgery fellowship is to train a general surgeon to become a specialist and leader in the discipline of vascular surgery. Our program is structured to instill knowledge, skills, clinical judgment and professional attitudes for our graduates to excel as vascular surgeons.
The program combines fundamental education in vascular disease with diverse exposure to clinical patient care and vascular interventions. The cognitive and technical skills required for vascular surgery practice are fostered, while fellows are encouraged to develop clinical maturity and evidence-based surgical judgment in caring for the vascular patient.
At the conclusion of vascular surgery training, our fellows will:
- Compete favorably for the most coveted academic and community practice vascular surgeon positions.
- Successfully pass the qualifying and certifying examinations of the Vascular Surgery Board of the American Board of Surgery.
- Contribute as vascular specialists and leaders in academic vascular surgery, or in the community practice of vascular surgery.
