Our program aims to prepare the fellow to function as a qualified practitioner of vascular surgery at the high level of performance expected of a board-certified specialist.
As of 2008, with the expansion to two fellows in the program, the structure of rotations expanded to include the Loma Linda Jerry L. Pettis VA. The structure is as follows:
| Fellowship Year | Aug - Nov | Dec - Apr | May - July |
|---|---|---|---|
| F-1 | LLU | LLU | RUHS |
| F-2 | LLU | RUHS | LLU |
Fellow required conferences:
The scope of expertise gained will include proficiency in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the arterial, venous, and lymphatic systems (exclusive of the heart and intracranial vessels). Expertise will extend to all standard open surgical and endovascular approaches to vascular diseases. Along with the technical expertise, a thorough study of the basic science, pathophysiology, and non-invasive diagnostic techniques will be taught.
Books:
Opportunities to work alongside faculty and do research for many journals, as well as be first author. Members of our faculty belong to many societies (SVS, Western Vascular Society, So Cal Vascular Surgery Society, Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Society).
“Working side-by-side with our fellows is one of my deepest joys. I love watching them develop throughout our two years together!”
With your help, we can make ambitious innovations in clinical care and education for our community.
