VASCULAR SURGERY
Our Fellows & Residents
The Stanford Vascular Surgery Fellowship is an RRC-accredited two-year fellowship leading to board eligibility for a certificate of Special Qualifications in Vascular Surgery granted by the American Board of Surgery.
The fellow’s first year is devoted to a busy clinical experience involving, as the primary surgeon, a large number and variety of open and endovascular cases and supervising the management of an active inpatient vascular surgery service for equal amounts of time at three hospitals with a heterogeneous mix of patient populations, the county hospital Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, the VA Palo Alto Hospital, and the complex referral practice at Stanford University Medical Center.
The Stanford Vascular Surgery residency is a 0+5 integrated vascular surgery program that includes a 2-year professional development requirement that is expected to be taken after the 3rd clinical year. This effectively makes Stanford vascular residency a 7-year program. This integrated residency leads to board eligibility for a certificate of Special Qualifications in Vascular Surgery granted by the American Board of Surgery.
