Vascular Surgery Integrated Training Programs

In 2006 the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education approved the Primary Certificate in Vascular Surgery, which eliminates the requirement for certification in general surgery prior to certification in vascular surgery. You now have the option of more than one training pathway:

  • 0+5 track—Vascular surgery integrated track for trainees who match during medical school. Three years are devoted to vascular surgery and two years to core surgical training. Core surgery rotations may occur throughout the first four years of training. Eligible for board certification in vascular surgery only.
  • 3+3 track—Residents currently match during medical school. Residents receive three years of vascular surgery training following three initial years of preliminary general surgery training at the same institution. Eligible for board certification in vascular surgery only.

In addition to these new possibilities, trainees may continue to pursue both general and vascular surgery training in the current sequential programs. Please visit ACGME for a complete listing of General Surgery Residencies and Vascular Surgery Fellowships (5+2 programs and 4+2 programs). Click on "reports" and use the "search by list of programs by specialty" and choose "Surgery" for General Surgery Residencies or choose "Vascular Surgery" for Vascular Surgery Fellowships.
