Vascular Surgery Integrated Residency
Get balanced training in open and endovascular approaches to procedures through our Vascular Surgery Integrated Residency.
Vascular Surgery Integrated Residency
What sets us apart?
This five-year training program is the newest milestone along our path of excellence in Vascular Surgery education and research at EVMS, which began even before the accreditation of our fellowship by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in 1984.
Residents will receive extensive and comprehensive experience in both the routine and some of the rarest open and endovascular cases due to the unique patient demographic, and variety of interest from the 11 core additional and non-core teaching faculty.
The program culminates in board examination eligibility and primary certification in vascular surgery.
