Educational Curriculum

Weekly conferences

In addition to informal teaching on rounds and in the OR and didactic teaching on other rotations, we offer weekly formal educational conferences. Vascular Grand Rounds lectures are largely the responsibility of the senior PGY-4 and PGY-5 residents  and adhere to the mandatory curriculum set forth by the Association of Program Directors in Vascular Surgery.
