Welcome from our Program Director
Thank you for your interest in the HCA-TCU Vascular Surgery Fellowship. We are proud to share our educational opportunity with you.
Our mission is to train Vascular Surgeons who will be confident in all aspects of vascular surgery practice once they complete their training. We offer a two-year traditional vascular surgery fellowship following completion of a traditional General Surgery Program.
We are a group of private practice vascular surgeons dedicated to the individualized professional development of our trainees, staff, and faculty. Our fellowship program is set up for the highest-level training and professional as well as academic development. We emphasize collaboration not just within our specialty, but with other specialists in managing complex open and endovascular cases. Our Fellows are exposed also to the variety of experiences through faculty who have trained at multiple, different sites and can teach multiple, different ways of handling both routine and complex vascular surgical problems. At our training sites, the Vascular Surgery Fellow will be exposed to the full range and high volume of vascular interventions, both in-office and hospital based.
In summary, the training provided by HCA-TCU vascular surgery fellowship is thoughtful, high volume, rigorous, up to date and comprehensive in terms of our goal of training future leaders in our specialty.
