Vascular Surgery Fellowship

Our vascular surgery fellows perform approximately 350 to 400 surgeries each year.

The Vascular Surgery Fellowship Program at Baylor University Medical Center, part of Baylor Scott & White Health, is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

The two-year fellowship is devoted exclusively to general vascular surgery and has a five-year 100 percent pass rate for both the vascular qualifying and vascular certifying exams.

We accept two fellows per year.

Vascular surgery cases are distributed among the vascular fellows and the senior general surgery residents rotating on the vascular teaching service.

The caseload includes:
