Source limitations and conflicting information
The ACGME accreditation required of prior general surgery training is distinct from proof of this fellowship’s current accreditation. An undated acceptance statement is not a deadline calendar event.
The currently linked form is dated February 2024 and includes legacy Step 2 CS/DEA-waiver fields. Confirm current examination and document equivalents; no new vacancy or deadline is inferred from the form.
AAMC ERAS 2027, checked 8 November 2026: independent vascular surgery ID 4500344002, status “Participating”. For the December cycle, AAMC allows applicant submissions from 12 November 2026 and programme review from 2 December 2026. These are platform dates; confirm the programme's closing date and recruitment.
