Postgraduate Training

While on the vascular service, residents attend on average four OR days and one clinic day per week. Clinics are staff-run with assistance of residents.

Vascular call is home call, and is covered by residents currently on the vascular service. Maximum call requirement is 1 in 3 (up to 9 per four week block).

Weekly teaching rounds are held on Wednesday mornings (7-8AM) for residents to review interesting cases and to practice oral exam skills.

Joint vascular and IR rounds are held on Thursday mornings from 7-8AM.

Journal club is held quarterly, and residents are assigned articles for presentation.
