Program Details

The Vascular Surgery Fellowship Program at the 老澳门六合彩图库 consists of a 24-month clinical training period, focusing on the complete evaluation and treatment of all aspects of vascular disease. Training months are evenly distributed between open and endovascular cases to provide for a comprehensive experience. Clinical assignments of the fellow include:

Directing a weekly vascular case planning conference at the Zablocki VA Medical Center
Rotations on the vascular and endovascular services at both Froedtert Hospital and the VA Medical Center
Functioning as primary operating surgeon for major vascular reconstructive procedures at both facilities
Outpatient Clinic
Performing and interpreting non-invasive vascular testing

The Vascular Surgery Fellowship at the 老澳门六合彩图库 has a formal educational program in the art and science of Vascular Surgery.

Academic conferences are held weekly with a multidisciplinary group including specialists from Vascular Surgery, Vascular Medicine, and Interventional Radiology.
Nationally- recognized VSCORE curriculum is provided to fellows and is used to guide weekly topics for readings and group discussion.
Clinical teaching occurs on a daily basis in the operating room, endovascular suites, outpatient clinics, and on the surgical wards.
The faculty is comprised of nine full-time board certified vascular surgeons.
Fellows attend regional and national conferences annually.

The entire spectrum of vascular diseases are treated in our program, including cerebrovascular (both carotid and vertebral artery) reconstructions, mesenteric and renal artery reconstructions, open and endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal and infrarenal aortic aneurysms, the management of upper and lower extremity arterial occlusive disease, and venous disorders.

Key elements of the clinical training experience include:

Two state-of-the-art hybrid operating room suites in which we perform a comprehensive array of hybrid endovascular and open surgical procedures.
On the inpatient service, 4 Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) along with residents from the General Surgery residency program staff the vascular patients at Froedtert Hospital.
Froedtert Hospital offers outstanding facilities for the care of patients with vascular disease. Support from anesthesia-critical care, cardiology, and other medical services are excellent.
Our inpatient vascular service has an agreement with the Department of Internal Medicine for routine medical co-management of our complex inpatients.
We maintain a productive and collaborative relationship with the Division of Interventional Radiology.

The fellows鈥� clinical responsibility increases during the program in accordance with ACGME regulations, and prior to completing the fellowship the graduate will have comprehensive skill in both open vascular surgery and endovascular therapy. Over the past 5 years, 老澳门六合彩图库 Vascular Surgery fellows performed an average of 1010 total surgical cases during their 2 years of fellowship.
