UCSF Vascular Surgery Fellowship (ACGME)

The UCSF Vascular Surgery Fellowship is a two-year, ACGME-approved program with one fellow per year.  The program provides comprehensive clinical training in the management of vascular disorders and is dedicated to the development of future leaders in vascular surgery.  Both years are spent on the vascular surgery service and clinical rotations provide extensive treatment, and non-invasive diagnosis.

Conferences and Education

Vascular Fellows

Vascular fellows are exposed to approximately 1000 cases performed annually at the UCSF Medical Center, including complex cerebrovascular, thoracoabdominal aortic, visceral, renal, and lower extremity procedures using both open surgical and endovascular techniques.  State-of-the-art facilities include a recently-opened endovascular suite in the operating room.

A variety of weekly clinical conferences provide additional didactic educational experience and fellows are encouraged to pursue faculty-mentored research projects and to present at regional and national meetings.

Eligibility

To be eligible for the UCSF Vascular Surgery Fellowship Program, applicants must have completed an ACGME-accredited General Surgery residency by the date of starting the program.
