Vascular Surgery Inpatient Training
By spending four months on this service during each of the first four years, and eight months in the last year (for a total of 24 months), residents will have substantial exposure to inpatient management and operative treatment of vascular patients with progressively increasing responsibility.
During each rotation, residents will spend up to one day per week in the outpatient clinic, under direct faculty supervision. As we implement the integrated residency, we plan to organize the vascular surgery service into two separate teams or services, each staffed by four full-time faculty. See the Rotation Schedule (PDF).
In this scheme, three residents will be assigned to each team, ensuring appropriate, independent responsibility for inpatient and operative management.
- One junior resident (PGY-1 or -2 vascular or general surgery resident)
- One mid-level resident (PGY-3 or -4 vascular or general surgery resident)
- One chief resident (PGY-5 vascular surgery resident or vascular surgery fellow from our two-year independent program).
Residents will cross-cover these services for call purposes, and will rotate as a group for the second half of their two-month rotation, in order to work with all faculty members.
