POSTED SEPTEMBER 2009
The Vascular Surgery Scientist Training Program at Northwestern University -- a two-year mentored research training experience for residents in general and vascular surgery (PGY-3 and -4) funded by a T32 grant from NIH -- is an individualized training plan developed by the mentor and trainee. The T32 mechanism provides a stipend, tuition, fees for coursework, travel funds, and health insurance. Trainees may select one of several tracks of study or a combination of tracks: Vascular biology with a basic science emphasis, clinical research including outcomes studies, biomedical devices, or an integrated program designed by the trainee and his/her mentors. If interested, trainees may also complete the requirements for the Master of Science in Clinical Investigation degree program. Minorities and women are encouraged to apply.
