Vascular Surgery Education

The UW Division of Vascular Surgery offers world-class training in cutting-edge techniques, leveraging the breadth and depth of our multi-site academic health system. Through two complementary training pathways, the Integrated Vascular Surgery Residency (0+5) and the Vascular Surgery Fellowship (5+2), we provide comprehensive education across all aspects of vascular surgery. Training across four distinct hospitals offers exposure to the full spectrum of vascular pathology, including complex aortic reconstruction supported by two investigational device exemptions (IDEs), advanced peripheral vascular disease management through a high-volume Limb Preservation Service, one of the largest vascular trauma experiences in the country, and extensive experience in complex venous and traditional open vascular surgery. Our program is defined by a culture of inclusion, welcoming applicants of all backgrounds and identities, and is committed to improving the health of the public through excellence in vascular surgical care.
