Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Fellowship

The fellowship is a comprehensive, integrated program with excellent training opportunities in the full spectrum of vascular disease management, including aortic, peripheral, renal, visceral and cerebrovascular disorders. 

Fellows receive extensive training in complex minimally invasive endovascular and traditional open vascular surgical procedures. They are encouraged to conduct translational and patient outcomes-based research and become proficient in performing and interpreting non-invasive vascular laboratory studies. Funding support to attend national conferences and training programs is provided.

Fellows' time will be equally split between the UCI Medical Center and the Long Beach Veterans Affairs Healthcare System. Both sites boast state-of-the-art hybrid operation suites with a dedicated vascular team, OR vascular nurse, radiology tech and scrub tech. 

Fellowship applications are accepted solely through ERAS, and matches are determined via the NRMP process. Prospective applicants can email the fellowship coordinator, Adrienne Cosentino at acosenti@hs.uci.edu, if they have questions. No phone calls please.
