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 o f future leaders in vascular surgery. Both years are spent on the vascular surgery service and clinical rotations provide extensive treatment, and non-invasive diagnosis.
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.
