Train with Us and Be Your Best
Launch your career with our innovative residency program
One of the first programs of its kind, our Integrated Vascular Surgery Residency prepares you to succeed in academic vascular surgery with a broad clinical foundation and protected time for academic and research pursuits.
Our goal is to graduate skilled vascular surgeons who go on to continue our specialty’s legacy of innovation, go on to advance the care of vascular patients and who enjoy long and fruitful careers in academic vascular surgery.
The University of Michigan offers highly competitive salaries and tremendous benefits to our residents/fellows. An overview of salary, benefits and employment eligibility is available on the University of Michigan Medical School website.
The Department of Surgery at the U-M Medical School is comprised of a diverse and dedicated team. Under the guidance of dedicated faculty, residents develop skills that equip them to exceed the highest standards of patient care and research.
Our residency program offers:
- Extensive experience: We have a near-equal distribution of volume in open and endovascular cases.
- Three diverse clinical training sites: The VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System for experience with routine vascular surgery; St. Joseph Trinity Healthcare Hospital; and Michigan Medicine, a large academic medical center drawing diverse and complex cases from around the country and the world.
- Exposure to all aspects of vascular surgery: Our operating surgeons represent all aspects of the specialty, from common vascular procedures to specialized practices such as complex cerebrovascular reconstructions, advanced open reconstruction of the thoracic and abdominal aorta and visceral branches, advanced endovascular procedures, thoracic outlet syndrome decompressions, and pediatric vascular procedures.
- Two years of protected and funded academic development time between the third and fourth clinical years: This is a rarity among vascular residency programs that provides a valuable opportunity to round out your training with basic, translational, and health services research, publications and presentations, and leadership development.
- A record of excellent outcomes: Our record includes a 100% vascular surgery QE and CE pass rate and graduate placements in sought-after positions.
The Michigan Promise aims to empower faculty members and residents in the Department of Surgery to achieve professional success. We support initiatives connected to environment, recruitment, leadership, achievement, innovation and outreach.
Expand your career trajectory in a high-volume academic medical center that also supports and excels in a wide range of basic science, translational and clinic outcomes research programs.
We find a new reason to love Ann Arbor nearly every day — year-round outdoor activities, cultural experiences, a growing food scene, and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere are just a few that come to mind. Explore all that Ann Arbor and our surrounding communities have to offer.
