The Division of Vascular Surgery at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is proud to offer a fully accredited 5-year integrated residency program, which residents enter directly from medical school. Students at North American medical schools may apply for the program through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).
Trainees would devote three years to vascular surgery and two years to core surgical training. The curriculum would include rotations in general surgery, vascular interventional radiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and the peripheral vascular lab - this provides residents with a robust experience that will help build a career as a future vascular surgeon. The program has been designed to balance both the endovascular and open aspects of vascular surgery, with extensive exposure to cases ranging from the typical to the complex. Completion of the program will lead to certification by the American Board of Surgery in Vascular Surgery.
Our program’s structure is designed to establish the core surgical skills and techniques, followed by detailed and progressive training in vascular surgery. The training program offers graduated responsibility throughout all five years with the last two years being “fellow” status. As residents gain knowledge and technical ability, the level of autonomy continues to increase, with the goal of 5th year residents being able to operate independently.
Residents are expected to review the goals and objectives for each rotation. When a resident does not meet the goals and objectives for a particular rotation, the resident is counseled by that service, offered advice for remediation, and the resident meets with the program director, where a program for remediation will be determined and will be monitored by the residency program director and the resident’s adviser.
We believe that our program develops well-rounded and capable vascular surgeons who are able to perform the breadth of vascular surgery and be highly successful right out of training.
