Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Fellowship

Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Fellowship

A message from Program Director Dr. Enjae Jung

On behalf of the vascular surgery faculty and trainees, I'd like to welcome you to the OHSU Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Fellowship and Integrated Residency Programs. Our programs offer a wide breadth of experience in complex endovascular aortic procedures and lower extremity interventions as well as complex open operations, including aortic surgeries, mesenteric bypasses, and leg revascularizations. Our trainees also participate in a variety of combined surgeries with various other sub-specialists to provide anterior spine exposures, porto-mesenteric or caval reconstructions, and arterial reconstructions for oncologic resections. Research participation is expected and supported with several research coordinators and funding which allow for ample opportunity to present at regional or national meetings and produce peer-reviewed publications during training regardless of the training (0+5 or 5+2) track. Thank you for your interest in our program, and please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Mission

The mission of the Vascular & Endovascular Residency Training Program at Oregon Health & Science University is to develop outstanding vascular surgeons with the knowledge and skills to build productive and fulfilling careers as clinicians, educators, and researchers. We strive to provide this training in a diverse, inclusive, and collegial educational environment where trainee well-being and professional development are among our utmost priorities and in alignment with the University's triple aim of healing, teaching, and discovery.

Program Aims

1. Provide a broad experience in both the hospital and outpatient setting to train residents for autonomous practice in either community or academic positions.
2. Teach the methods of hypothesis driven clinical research and educate the next generation of surgeon educators and surgeon scientists.
3. Prepare graduates for today's and tomorrow's changing clinical practice, technical skills, and healthcare environment by demonstrating the clinical knowledge, data driven clinical decision making, and leadership skills required to care for the breadth of vascular surgical pathologies and perform wide range of open and endovascular procedures.
4. Cultivate a diverse and inclusive educational environment that is respectful to all.

Applicant Information

Our two-year fellowship provides exceptional training for accomplished surgeons in the specialized field of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery. Our graduates have gone on to successful careers in both academic and private practices. The curriculum is structured in an integrated fashion, with both first and second-year fellows rotating on clinical services at the University Hospital, Portland VA Medical Center, and Legacy Emanuel Hospital. All three sites provide the full spectrum of open and endovascular surgery. Our trainees participate in complex endovascular aortic procedures and lower extremity interventions as well as complex open operations including aortic surgeries, mesenteric bypasses, and leg bypasses.  Our fellows also participate in a wide variety of combined surgeries with various other sub-specialists to provide anterior spine exposures, porto-mesenteric or caval reconstructions, and arterial reconstruction for oncologic resections. Research is encouraged, and there is ample opportunity to present at regional and national meetings and produce peer-reviewed publications during both years.
