At AccessCare Vascular, our physicians pride themselves in mentoring the next generation of physicians. With abundant shadowing opportunities, we are always happy to have pre-medical students at any point of their journey spend some time shadowing our surgeons.
We are currently developing a summer shadowing program for pre-medical students. We hope to provide unique insight into vascular surgery and the business of medicine as students spend time with our physicians who are leading members of their field. Students will be able to shadow at our Outpatient Lab, Clinic, and in the Operating Room at Buffalo General Hospital and at Gates Vascular Institute. Keep an eye out for updates as we finalize the details of this program!
