Cleveland Clinic Foundation Program

The Cleveland Clinic offers both a Vascular Surgery Fellowship (5+2) and an Integrated Residency (0+5) program. The fellowship aims to provide trainees who have completed a five-year general surgery residency with advanced credentials in vascular and endovascular surgery. The program offers training in complex open surgical procedures and innovative endovascular therapies across multiple healthcare settings, including community hospitals, a Veteran’s Hospital, and an outpatient-based dialysis center.

The Integrated Vascular Surgery Residency program started in 2009, focusing on providing graduated, incremental training in vascular surgery, vascular research, general surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, and core rotations. Residents receive exposure to endovascular rotations and participate in simulation-based training to enhance their surgical techniques and fundamentals unique to vascular surgery. The program emphasizes a progressive learning approach with a focus on complexity and responsibility.

The Department of Vascular Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic is dedicated to providing robust training opportunities in vascular surgery with a multidisciplinary approach. The department boasts a diverse and dedicated faculty involved in education, research, and patient care. Trainees are encouraged to engage in cutting-edge research, participate in educational conferences, and work collaboratively with healthcare providers across various specialties to enhance their learning experience.

If you are looking for inclusive, well-rounded, and prosperous training programs in vascular surgery with ample clinical exposure, leadership opportunities, and state-of-the-art curriculum, the Cleveland Clinic's Vascular Surgery Fellowship and Integrated Residency programs could be a great fit.
