The Division of Vascular Surgery was granted accreditation for their “Straight 5 Integrated Vascular Residency” program by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education in November 2010. The program began in July 2010 and represents a tremendous achievement on the part of the Vascular Surgery Program within the Department of Surgery.
