Education

Vascular Fellowship:The Stanford Vascular Surgery Fellowship is an RRC-accredited two-year fellowship leading to board eligibility for a certificate of Special Qualifications in Vascular Surgery granted by the American Board of Surgery.

Integrated 5-year Residency Program in Vascular Surgery:* This program is currently under review by the ACGME and the Surgery RRC and pending final approval in October 2007.

Interesting Cases/Basic Science Review: An overview of many of the interesting cases treated by our vascular surgeons. The vascular fellows are exposed to a very broad range of open, endovascular, and complex aortic work during their training.

Postgraduate Events: A listing of interesting events for postgrads.

NHLBI Research Career Development Program in Vascular Medicine: The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) recently funded a K12 center at Stanford University to offer comprehensive clinical research training for physicians wanting to specialize in vascular medicine, an evolving discipline devoted to clinical evaluation and management of individuals with arterial, venous and lymphatic diseases.

Faculty: Information is available on our faculty.

Stanford Bio-X Program: The Stanford Bio-X program is an interdisciplinary bio-related research program connected to biology and medicine. Ideas and methods embodied in engineering, computer science, physics, chemistry, and other fields are being brought to bear upon important challenges in bioscience. The Bio-X fellow program is designed for young, highly talented researchers after their PhD but before their first faculty appointment to start an independent, yet integrated research program with the potential of groundbreaking impact on biosciences. The fellow will be appointed for 3-4 years. A generous support package, including substantial research funds and laboratory space for up to three additional researchers associated with the fellow will enable the fellow to establish his/her career as an independent PI.
