This elective will provide an intensive clinical research experience within the Division of Vascular Surgery over an eight-week period. A variety of different types of clinical research experience are available and discussions as to what type of project the student wishes to participate should be discussed with the faculty member prior to beginning the elective.
Projects entail answering clinical questions regarding cardiovascular disease.
Research regarding natural history of arterial and venous problems, new technologies in the vascular laboratory, efficacy of endovascular and surgical procedures, and outcomes research are available. Become proficient in clinical data collection, database management, and abstract writing. Submit research in abstract form to a major relevant scientific meeting with the hope of presentation and subsequent publication in a peer reviewed journal.
