MSH Vascular Diagnostic and Intervention Fellowship

The Vascular Diagnostic and Intervention Fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital is a one-year program that trains fellows in comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for all non-coronary vascular diseases. Working under the auspices of highly regarded faculty, fellows obtain in-depth experience in catheter-based interventions for vascular disease, as well as non-invasive testing, including a basic understanding of the performance and interpretation of these tests. Fellows will be prepared to sit for the Society for Vascular Medicine certification examination upon completion of the fellowship.

Fellows address a variety of disease pathologies, including:

Peripheral arterial, carotid, renal, aortic, mesenteric, and aneurysmal disorders
Acute and chronic venous thromboembolic disease
Hypercoagulability
Uncommon causes of vascular diseases
Limb edema

During the fellowship, trainees will also pursue clinical research, present their findings at regional or national symposia, and submit their research to peer-reviewed journals.
