Fellows & Alumni - Vascular Surgery Fellowship Program

Vascular surgery can be a difficult and demanding specialty. It requires a robust and comprehensive training to be able to practice safely and efficiently, whether that is at a quaternary high-powered academic institution or a community program with limited resources and support. The training foundation over two years at the prestigious Ochsner Clinic is excellent and allows you to confidently enter either career path. Additionally, from the first interview, it was clear that Ochsner is a family that you join on day 1 and will last long after fellowship ends. The food, music, and culture are just icing on the cake.

I was absolutely thrilled to find out I would be at Ochsner when I matched for fellowship. The program stood out in so many different ways, starting with the passion and enthusiasm the faculty displayed for their profession. The environment was collegial, the fellows were busy but happy and fulfilled, and everyone was very eager to share their experiences both in and out of the OR. The breadth, and complexity, of cases at Ochsner is best in class, and the emphasis on fellow education and operative autonomy is highly appealing. The learning curve is steep transitioning to fellowship, but all the support and training received at Ochsner undoubtedly sets fellows up for success!
