Maimonides Medical Center Program

The Maimonides Medical Center Integrated Vascular Surgery Residency Program is a 5-year program located in Brooklyn, offering extensive training in both complex open and endovascular therapies. The curriculum provides experiences in aortic arch and proximal aortic surgical repair, along with involvement in national clinical device trials. Residents also have the opportunity to participate in clinical research studies and a rotation in complex endovascular aortic treatment in Paris during the final training year.

After completing the PGY-1 and PGY-2 years, residents undergo three years of intensive vascular surgery training. The program focuses on providing a broad base of knowledge and skills related to vascular surgery, including open and catheter-based procedures. The curriculum aims to develop proficiency in diagnosing and treating arterial, venous, and lymphatic diseases, promoting multidisciplinary communication, professionalism, and effective healthcare system navigation.

Applicants are required to submit their applications through ERAS. The program specifies a minimum score requirement for USMLE and COMLEX exams, and prefers recent graduates but considers up to three years post-graduation with clinical experience. They review the application comprehensively, including letters of recommendation, transcripts, and exam scores.

The program accepts both J1 and a limited number of H1 visas, though no visa type is guaranteed. They do not require US clinical experience but consider it favorably in the application review process. Additionally, the program emphasizes compliance with anti-discrimination laws in employment practices.
