The Department of Surgery received accreditation to begin a two-year fellowship in Vascular Surgery with one fellow at each level as of July 2008.  Dr. L. Richard Sprouse is the Fellowship Director. 

The fellowship program requires that fellows must have completed a five-year Surgery Residency prior to entering the two-year fellowship.  Interested applicants may contact Cindy Rudolph, Surgery Program Manager, at Cindy.Rudolph@erlanger.org, or by phone (423) 778-7695. 

Vascular Surgery is the surgical specialty involving diseases of the arterial, venous, and lymphatic circulatory systems, exclusive of those circulatory vessels intrinsic to the heart and intracranial vessels. Specialists in this discipline must demonstrate not only the knowledge, skills, and understanding of the medical science relative to the vascular system, but also the acquisition of mature technical skills and surgical judgment.
