Special Features & Unique Opportunities
The vascular surgery integrated program's first three years are split between vascular surgery and general surgery core rotations, while the last two years are solely dedicated to mastering vascular surgery according to ACGME requirements. Rotations take place at a university-based hospital and a community hospital, both of which are level one trauma centers and tertiary care centers with hybrid operating room facilities. Educational conferences are resident-led with faculty mentorship.
