Applications for both programs are accepted only via ERAS. The vascular surgery residency office will not accept any paper applications.

Personal interviews are by invitation only and are required for acceptance to our program. Completed applications should include:

Our interview process for both programs is a one-day process. We prefer that applicants arrive the night before for a dinner with faculty and trainees.

Interviews for the two-year vascular surgery fellowship program are held in February and March, scheduled on two Wednesdays from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
