Our Vascular Surgery Fellowship is an ACGME accredited two-year program with both years devoted to clinical work. The University of Washington Fellowship provides comprehensive training in all areas of vascular surgery. Our trainees rotate at the University of Washington Medical Center, the Puget Sound VA Hospital, Harborview Medical Center and Valley Medical Center. Our Fellowship provides a rigorous experience in a wide variety of vascular cases including complex aortic cases, fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic surgery, open aortic reconstructions, venous reconstructions, vascular malformations, vascular access and an extensive peripheral experience in open and endovascular techniques. The rotation at our Level 1 Trauma Center also offers significant exposure to vascular trauma and the treatment of ruptured AAA.
Our program is dedicated to the integral formation of diverse individuals who will become exceptional clinicians. Our Vascular Surgery Fellowship produces highly trained and qualified surgeons. We are currently recruiting for one R6 position to begin July 01, 2019.
