Vascular Surgery Residency Training Program

The Vascular Surgery Residency Training Program started July 1, 1986 with one Residency Review Committee (RRC)-approved trainee per year. This was increased after RRC approval to two approved trainees per year in 1992.

The primary goal of the training program is to train academic vascular surgeons. The program is administered by the faculty of Washington University School of Medicine and is based in the Department of Surgery. Dr. Gregorio A. Sicard is the program director, chief of the Section of Vascular Surgery and vice chairman of the Department of Surgery.

The residency's clinical training program historically has been one year in length followed by an optional basic research component year. Beginning in July 2006, following the RRC's new requirements, the training program was increased to a two-year clinical program.

The Vascular Surgery Residency is under the umbrella of the General Surgery Residency, directed by Dr. Timothy Eberlein, Bixby Professor and chairman of the Department of Surgery.
