Upcoming
Deadline: The 2026–2027 Match recruits two fellows for 1 August 2028. How to apply says all dates are TBD and interviews are in person; Important fellowship dates instead says virtual interviews, a 13 December application deadline, invitations by 4 January and interviews on 27 February/13 March. The individual dates have no explicit year. These conflicting instructions require coordinator confirmation.
Applicants should confirm the current cycle directly with the institution before preparing an application.

Clinical scope and case mix
Supervised clinical participation. The official source documents the training themes listed above; exact case numbers, independent responsibility and operative autonomy are not inferred when unpublished.
Research exposure: Not publicly confirmed in the indexed source.
Funding, fees and support
OHSU GME provides resident/fellow salary scales by credited US postgraduate training, insurance and professional-liability cover, an annual housing stipend and up to USD 1,000 relocation reimbursement. The current benefits page references AY 2026–2027; a vascular-fellow salary amount and the announced 2028-start salary are not established here. The programme’s FREIDA survey (ID 4504021009) reports year 6 USD 101,993 and year 7 USD 105,663. Confirm the pay year and the amount for the individual fellowship appointment.
Accommodation, relocation, insurance and additional fees are not assumed when they are absent from the official source.
Source limitations and conflicting information
The earlier 13 December 2026 listing with an uncertain year is superseded by the current page’s TBD dates and is removed from the deadline calendar. The August 2028 start is not a deadline.
Both contradictory interview/date sections are retained. No current dated calendar deadline is inferred from the yearless December instruction.
AAMC ERAS 2027, checked 8 November 2026: independent vascular surgery ID 4504021009, 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.
