Vascular Surgery

Our Program

The vascular surgery training program is a two-year program. Clinical rotations are in the University of Missouri Health Care Center and Boone Hospital Center. Our first year fellow rotates through research, clinicals, and endovascular training. The primary rotation of our second year position is clinical.

The vascular surgery fellowship program accepts one PGY-6 categorical resident per year. We are now a two year ACGME accredited program.

Our graduates have successfully completed their examinations for certification with the American Board of Surgery with an 100% pass rate for the past several years. We are a University based program with emphasis on graduated resident responsibility, research, and education. A visit to our program will be well worth your time.
