The Division of Vascular Surgery at the University of Wisconsin Department of Surgery 0-5 Integrated Vascular Surgery Residency started in 2009 and accepts one resident a year. This residency program is designed to produce surgeons who can provide comprehensive care to the vascular patient and be expected to fully participate in the rapid expansion of the field of vascular surgery, both clinically and academically. We aim to train the future leaders in vascular surgery. Two years of dedicated academic development/research time after the second clinical year are a part of the program to help achieve this goal. The other major goals of this integrated program include:
- Provide incremental, progressive training in core general surgery and vascular surgery during the five-year program
- Focus on areas that will be critically important to the needs of a practicing vascular specialist
Over the course of the five-year training period, vascular residents will spend a total of 18 months on core surgery rotations and 42 months on vascular surgery rotations.
There is one position available each year. We will accept application materials through ERAS.
Please explore this website and view this Powerpoint for more details about our program. Additionally feel free to email us with any questions.
Note: Per the AAMC guidelines, all interviews in the fall of 2020 for the 2021 match will be done virtually due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
