Shape your vascular surgery career at Tufts Medical Center in Boston

The Tufts Medicine Vascular Surgery Fellowship is a two-year, ACGME-accredited program for surgeons who have completed a general surgery residency. Established in 1984, it is one of the original vascular fellowships in the U.S. and continues to prepare surgeons for certification and successful careers in both academic and community practice.

The fellowship offers broad, hands-on training across the full spectrum of vascular care. In the first year fellows focus on noninvasive vascular testing and interventional radiology, building a strong foundation for credentialing exams. The second year shifts toward advanced operative experience, inpatient and outpatient management and the care of vascular emergencies.

The program follows a closed faculty model, meaning all vascular surgeons are full-time faculty and fellows are fully integrated into patient care from day one. Graduates complete 800–900 open and endovascular procedures, ensuring a wide range of experience. Along with clinical training, fellows participate in academic development through research, conferences and teaching opportunities.

Program highlights:

• 2-year fellowship accredited by the ACGME
• First year focused on noninvasive diagnostics and interventional radiology
• Second year focused on advanced operative training and vascular emergencies
• Closed faculty model with full integration into vascular services
