Why UW?

UW is the ideal place for vascular surgery training, due to its wide catchment area and diverse clinical niches of its faculty. We serve a diverse patient population across the 4 hospitals at which we train, and are exposed to an unparalleled clinical and operative experience.

What advice do you have for incoming interns?

Always prioritize the patient, support your peers and your juniors as you advance in training, and try to be incrementally better each day.

The summer is unparalleled, there are endless adventures in the surrounding mountains, and there’s great food everywhere.
