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.
The University of Washington offers an ACGME accredited five-year integrated residency in Vascular Surgery. The first eighteen months include clinical training in core surgical education and the final three years and a half year comprise senior-level training in vascular surgery. Our program adds two candidates per year (directly following medical school) and complements our existing two-year AGME-accredited fellowship. Our sites of practice include Harborview Medical Center, UW Medical Center-Montlake, UW Medical Center-Northwest, and the VA Puget Sound Health Care System. Each site is unique in the training offered, ranging from complex aortic repair, vascular trauma, complex venous reconstructions and solid open vascular experience. Numerous opportunities for research exist; our resident present at local, regional and national meetings. Interviews will be conducted in-person.
2026 Residency Match Interview Dates: Friday, 12/12/25 and Friday, 1/09/26
