Vascular Surgery Fellowship
Fifty years ago, pre-eminent vascular surgeon,
Jesse Thompson, MD, launched only the second
Vascular Surgery Fellowship in the country at
Baylor University Medical Center, helping train
and advance what was at the time a burgeoning
surgical subspecialty. Since coming under
the Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular
Hospital – Dallas banner, the Vascular Surgery
Fellowship has grown in prestige alongside the
entire hospital’s vascular services offerings and
volumes. Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular
Hospital – Dallas proudly celebrated the 50th
anniversary of the Vascular Surgery Fellowship in
2015. More than 100 fellows have graduated from
the program and gone on to provide vascular
surgical care to patients the world over.
Quality and service excellence have always
been hallmarks of the vascular specialists
on the hospital medical staff, in addition to a
commitment to offering advanced treatment
options in vascular surgery that are not always
widely available.
