Program Overview

Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy Fellowship Program

The Johns Hopkins Hospital, in the heart of Baltimore, Maryland, is a world-class clinical institution with a diverse national and international patient population.

Program Overview

Fellows receive unequaled open and endovascular training from faculty who are national leaders in their field, and graduate as competent and confident open and endovascular surgeons, positioned for success and for leadership positions in vascular surgery.

Program Information

We sponsor a fully accredited, traditional two-year fellowship for applicants who have completed five years of general surgical training. Each year, we accept one or two fellows (alternating years) with the goal of training leaders not only in the field of vascular surgery and endovascular therapy, but in all medicine.
