Welcome to the Division of Vascular Surgery
Established in 1994, the McGill Division of Vascular Surgery delivers comprehensive vascular care to patients across Quebec through two major high-volume hospitals in Montreal: the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) and the Jewish General Hospital (JGH). Our faculty manage the full spectrum of vascular disease and bring some of the most extensive experience in Canada in complex open and endovascular aortic surgery.
The Division is committed to excellence in patient care, education, and research. We host a Royal College–accredited residency program and provide high-quality teaching at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels while advancing research aimed at improving patient outcomes. We foster a collegial, inclusive, and collaborative environment for patients, trainees, and faculty alike.
