Trainees completing the Vascular Medicine Fellowship will be eligible for the American Board of Vascular Medicine (ABVM) certification examination in general vascular medicine and the Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) examination.
The Vascular Medicine fellow will work closely with nationally renowned faculty in the Vascular Center of UH Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, University Hospitals Ahuja Medical Center, and other UH facilities.
The fellow will be exposed to a broad spectrum of common and uncommon arterial, venous and lymphatic disorders.

Additional rotations can be customized to the fellow’s interests.
The fellow has opportunity to participate in a mentored research project as part of the program. Participation in the multidisciplinary cardiovascular conferences and Vascular Center didactics of UH Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute is required.
