CVC is committed to the education of fellows in order to train the future generation of leaders treating peripheral arterial and venous disease. Every year, CVC offers scholarships to fellows enrolled in accredited vascular surgery, cardiology/ interventional cardiology and interventional radiology fellowship programs.
