VASCULAR FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
Facilities
Clinic
These includes the 953 bed of University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics and the adjacent 269 bed Iowa City Veterans Administration Hospital. The clinical material for the vascular program is provided by these two institutions.
Research
Within the two hospitals there are animal research laboratories under the supervision of individual faculty. Through these laboratory facilities trainees can initiate and complete experimental research projects. Clinical projects can also be conducted and the noninvasive vascular laboratories are a source of several projects.
Peripheral Vascular Laboratories: Venous, Arterial & Cerebrovascular Evaluations
The Clinical Vascular Laboratories at both hospitals have a full compliment of noninvasive vascular diagnostic equipment including 5 duplex ultrasound scanners. Although a wide variety of noninvasive tests are performed, there is heavy emphasis on the use of color scanning at each institution. At the University of Iowa Vascular Laboratory, around 6000 tests are performed each year. At the Iowa City VAMC approximately 4000 test are done annually. There are 7 vascular technologists employed between the two institutions. Both laboratories are accredited by ICAVL.
