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themes listed above; exact case numbers, independent responsibility and operative autonomy are not inferred when unpublished.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: Research activity is described by the indexed source; review the official page for the current scope.
Funding, fees and support
In addition to the fellowship’s older FY25 link, a GME memo dated 30 September 2025 proposes AY 2026–2027 PGY 6 USD 91,863 and PGY 7 USD 94,407/year. The document calls these rates “proposed” and benefits “expected”; obtain the approved vascular appointment terms before relying on them. GME’s approved AY 2027–2028 scale, effective 1 July 2027, lists annual USD 94,619 at Step 6 and USD 97,240 at Step 7. Verify which step applies to the individual appointment.
Accommodation, relocation, insurance and additional fees are not assumed when they are absent from the official source.
Source limitations and conflicting information
The linked FY25 stipend memo is historical. A current/future intake salary must be confirmed with GME.
An alternative FY27 central GME memo now supplies proposed 2026–2027 figures. Its own proposed/expected wording is retained; retrieval does not turn a proposal into a confirmed salary.
AAMC ERAS 2027, checked 8 November 2026: independent vascular surgery ID 4504921085, 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.
