Vascular Surgery Education

The UW Division of Vascular Surgery offers world-class training in cutting-edge techniques taking advantage of the multiple sites of practice that our system has to offer. With two training paradigms, the Vascular Integrated Residency (0+5) and the traditional fellowship (5+2), we offer a comprehensive training in all aspects of vascular surgery. Our program is defined by a culture of diversity and inclusion; we actively address healthcare inequities to support our mission of improving the health of the public and promote equity, diversity and inclusion across all aspects of vascular surgery care. Four different training hospitals provide our residents and fellows with a unique experience that encompass the whole spectrum of vascular pathology, from complex aortic reconstruction with two investigational device exemptions (IDE's) for juxtarenal and thoracoabdominal aortic repair, complex peripheral surgery driven by our Limb Preservation Service, and one of the largest vascular trauma experience in the country, matched with complex venous work and high-volume traditional open vascular surgery.
