For each year, residents receive one month of paid vacation that is integrated into the program schedule.

We offer electives and sub-internships in vascular and endovascular surgery to third- and fourth-year medical students.

Vascular/Endovascular Elective at The Mount Sinai Hospital (SUR376)

This elective is geared towards MD and DO students who are interested in exploring the field of vascular surgery. Students have the opportunity to see patients in inpatient and outpatient settings, scrub in on elective and emergent surgeries, and participate in the postoperative care of the vascular patient. By the end of the elective, students will have familiarity with the various types of examinations performed in vascular laboratories (including carotid artery surgery, aortic aneurysm repair, and lower extremity bypass surgery) and how to appropriately order and interpret test results.

Vascular/Endovascular Sub-Internship at The Mount Sinai Hospital and Mount Sinai West (SUR378)

This sub-internship is geared towards MD and DO students (U.S. residents only) who are interested in applying to the integrated vascular surgery residency program. During this sub-internship, participants are exposed to the full range of vascular surgery, including interventional radiology and non-invasive laboratory techniques. Students participate in clinic and office care, contribute to ongoing research, and by the end of their internship, are versed in scrubbing in the operating room, in the postoperative management in the recovery room, and in the intensive care unit.

For more information, please contact Pascal Ferreira, Program Coordinator, at pascal.ferreira@mountsinai.org.

The Vascular Surgery Residency is accredited by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), and we accept two new residents each year. At Icahn Mount Sinai, we participate in the National Resident Matching Program (link to: https://www.nrmp.org/) and accept applications from fourth-year medical students through the Electronic Residency Application Service.

Approximately 40 selected applicants will be invited for an interview and an informal get-together (to meet house staff) the evening before their interviews. After the interviews, applicants can return for a “second look visit,” which allows them to spend a day with a vascular resident and tour The Mount Sinai Hospital, visit the operating room and patient ward, and meet with attendings.
