Clinical Fellowship

Under the direction of Dr. Patrick J. Lamparello, two residents are selected each year for a two-year training program in the specialty of vascular surgery. The highly regarded vascular surgical residency program provides training for residents in all aspects of vascular and endovascular surgery for ensuring the highest quality of care for patients with vascular illnesses. NYU maintains an environment suitable to host academic activities for medical education and scientific research. Rotations occur on the clinical surgical services of the various hospitals that comprise NYU Medical Center. Rotations are also present in endovascular interventions and the vascular laboratory. The latter is a three month rotation ensuring that the resident will be successful in acquiring certification for the vascular laboratory.

The vascular fellows rotate in three-month blocks to Tisch, Bellevue, and the VA Hospitals. At Tisch, the resident supervises the Vascular Surgical Service, with patients directly under his/her care. Here the fellow will scrub on the more difficult and complicated vascular cases as well as directly oversee general surgical residents, medical students, and nurse practitioners on this large and busy academic service. All aspects of vascular disease are encountered, including arterial, venous, and lymphatic disorders. Extensive outpatient experience is gained in the eight member surgical faculty's vascular clinics. NYU has a very active day surgery center. We perform many vein procedures per year. The vascular surgical service performs all of its diagnostic angiograms and all of its therapeutic endovascular interventions, including a large experience in abdominal aortic aneurysms.

At Bellevue and the VA Hospitals, the fellows act as a junior consultant for the vascular surgical services and trauma services. They are provided with a significant portion of time for independent reading, research and conference preparation. The Vascular Resident is present daily in the vascular laboratories and clinics and obtains extensive outpatient experience.

On completing the certified vascular residency at NYU, it is expected that the vascular fellow will achieve board certification. The vascular resident is required to present his research at the Eastern Vascular Fellows Meeting held in the spring in New York. Most of the fellows present at other national vascular meetings as well. Over the decades the graduates of NYU have gained leadership positions throughout North America and received numerous awards. All regulations regarding resident work hours are observed.
