The Corewell Health – Grand Rapids/Michigan State University Vascular Surgery Residency is a five-year ACGME-accredited residency program designed to train medical students who desire to become board-certified vascular surgeons. Residents work closely with faculty mentors and are assisted by a team of clinical nurses, rotating off-service surgical residents, and physician assistants. A large case experience, clinical research, and state-of-the-art simulation contribute to a multi-faceted experience and the opportunity to become a well-rounded and proficient vascular surgery specialist.
Our program, your future
Our residents spend the majority of their time at the Corewell Health Grand Rapids Hospitals Fred & Lena Meijer Heart Center, located in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. Stefano Bordoli, MD, is the program director and he is assisted by nine vascular surgeons, all fellowship-trained. Each of the faculty trained at different programs bringing a diverse experience to the residency.
Program aims
- Create an educational environment with a focus on resident development throughout their residency with progressive responsibility and autonomy
- Provide the resident exposure to multidisciplinary team-based approaches to patient care within different patient populations and backgrounds
- Prepare the resident for a career in varied clinical and/or academic settings with exposure to research, medical education/teaching, quality and safety initiatives, and community engagement
- Provide the educational and clinical tools to the resident to successfully complete the process for board certification
- Create an environment for ongoing learning with investigation and research opportunities
