Train where the prairies meet the mountains.

 

The University of Calgary Vascular Surgery Program operates out of the Peter Lougheed Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We are a high-volume, tertiary care centre serving southern Alberta, western Saskatchewan, and eastern British Columbia.

Nestled between the prairies and the Rocky Mountains, Calgary is an hour drive from world-class hiking, skiing, biking, camping, and anything in between.
