Vascular Surgery Fellowship Scholarly Activity

Our vigorous research program provides ample exposure to academic opportunities and all fellows are required to participate in longitudinal research studies with the expectation of presenting their work at local, regional, or national conferences. In addition, fellows will have the opportunity to be involved in several clinical research trials in which our faculty are principal investigators.
