Comprehensive Training for Tomorrow's Vascular Surgery Leaders
Our Vascular Surgery Integrated Residency Program is a five-year, fully ACGME-accredited training program.
We prepare and train residents in a stimulating atmosphere, reflecting the highest quality of vascular care, to become certified by the American Board of Vascular Surgery. Our residents are exposed to a multitude of surgical areas in combination with a strong didactic vascular curriculum, enabling them to become proficient surgeons and future leaders in the field.
With a diverse, dedicated faculty of 10 board-certified vascular surgeons, our program offers residents experience with the full complement of endovascular therapies and open surgical techniques, as well as training in non-invasive vascular laboratory testing. We also encourage participation in scholarly activity and clinical research.
A varied caseload combined with the individual expertise of our faculty ensures residents develop and fine tune their operative skills and their understanding of planning and vascular principles.
