ARH's Vascular Surgery is a dynamic team that focuses collaborative episodic and longitudinal care for a complex population. The team is interdisciplinary and very supportive and you will be working with partner NPs. The hospital is a magnet for NP practice due to the dynamic population it serves and the amazing collaboration amongst the professionals that work there.

- Mentorship in multiple clinical areas
- Dedicated clinical supervision during clinical placements
- Protected time for self directed learning relevant to your clinical practice
