Vascular Surgery Residency and Fellowship Programs Virtual Tour
One of the longest-standing programs in the country, the Vascular Surgery Residency and Fellowship Programs at Montefiore Einstein have a rich history of serving a population that’s significantly impacted by cardiovascular disease. The complementary integration of these programs affords trainees the opportunity to experience the full range of vascular surgery education. Both residents and fellows benefit from the resources afforded by two large tertiary academic hospitals and a new state-of-the-art outpatient surgery center. Our program has a strong track record of training future leaders in vascular surgery. Many of our graduates have gone on to become division chiefs and department chairs, both in the US and abroad.

Why our programs could be right for you
Our five-year Integrated Vascular Surgery Residency Program offers training that allows senior residents to function at a level commensurate with those in our Fellowship Program. In our Vascular Surgery Fellowship, fellows learn technical skills in a hands-on fashion, and are provided progressive autonomy. Fellows also have the opportunity to hone their teaching skills while working with residents in general surgery and other sub-specialities, as well as medical students who rotate on the vascular service.

Home to notable programs and our Centers of Excellence
The largest inpatient acute care hospital within Montefiore Einstein, Moses Campus features more than 700 inpatient adult beds, 25 operating rooms and six critical care units, which facilitate care for surgical, cardiothoracic, medical, neurosurgical, pediatric and step-down patients. Moses operates Montefiore’s busiest emergency department, providing care for roughly 250,000 patients each year, and is also home to Children’s Hospital at Montefiore.
I chose Montefiore Einstein for my vascular surgery training because of its diverse patient population and pathology, the diversity within its faculty and the progressive operative autonomy offered to trainees.

An academic hospital adjacent to our Albert Einstein College of Medicine
Located on Montefiore’s Einstein Campus, Jack D. Weiler Hospital is a 403-bed tertiary care facility with 17 operating rooms, where nearly 1,000 vascular surgery operations are performed each year. Weiler’s location, adjacent to our Albert Einstein College of Medicine, gives residents easy access to study facilities, gross anatomy labs, a robust medical library and various research opportunities.
As the main referral center in a large, underserved area, the majority of our patients have extensive medical histories and often present with complex surgical problems, which makes for excellent training.

A partner teaching hospital designated as a Level 1 trauma center
One of New York City’s Health + Hospitals’ 11 acute care hospitals, Jacobi Medical Center (JMC) is one of the busiest Level 1 trauma centers in New York City and a leader in trauma and surgical critical-care delivery. While training at Jacobi, residents and fellows receive unparalleled, invaluable experience in trauma and emergency vascular surgery.
When deciding on where I wanted to train, I looked for a program with exposure to a wide breadth of vascular disease, surgeons capable of performing complex techniques and a high case volume, all of which Montefiore provides its residents and fellows.

An ambulatory surgery center and specialty care location
Hutchinson Campus is a highly streamlined ambulatory center that delivers efficient, patient-focused care. This state-of-the-art building encompasses several floors of medical offices, three dedicated floors for our outpatient surgical center and 12 spacious operating rooms. As an ambulatory center with a fast turnover rate, Hutchinson sometimes completes six or seven procedures per day in each operating room. This allows for a busy, intense surgical training experience for our residents and fellows.

Faculty and scientists at the forefront of research
Live and work close to the best of everything
The Bronx, New York City’s northernmost borough, is a culturally rich neighborhood placed at the intersection of Manhattan and its surrounding regions. Our postgraduate trainees typically live in hospital housing or off-site in nearby Riverdale, Lower Westchester or Manhattan, and have access to an unmatched diversity of experiences beyond the program itself.
In the Bronx, with its ample parks and gardens, you’ll learn first-hand why it’s known as “the City’s Greenest Borough.” The neighborhood offers plenty of local food, art, sports and culture, and is just a subway ride away from Manhattan’s famed theaters, museums and attractions.
As a resident of the Tri-State region, you’ll have unmatched access to the city’s cultural offerings, not to mention the bounty of outdoor excursions that are available just beyond. Day-trips and weekend excursions to the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Long Island or New Jersey provide ample opportunities for swimming, hiking, biking, skiing and other seasonal activities.
