Vascular Diagnostic and Intervention Fellowship

The Vascular Diagnostic and Intervention Fellowship Program is a one-year, non-ACGME training program. Trainees will obtain broad exposure to the comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for all non-coronary vascular diseases. These include peripheral arterial, carotid, renal, aortic, mesenteric, and aneurysmal disorders; acute and chronic venous thromboembolic disease; hypercoagulability; uncommon causes of vascular diseases; and limb edema.

Trainees will obtain in-depth exposure to all catheter-based interventions for vascular disease, as well as experience in decision making regarding optimal treatment, including medical and surgical alternatives. Fellows will have hands-on exposure to non-invasive vascular testing, including a basic understanding of the performance and interpretation of these tests, with the goal of preparing the fellow, upon completion of the fellowship, to sit for the Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) certification examination.
