SYRACUSE, N.Y. — St. Joseph’s Health announced it has added Stuart Blackwood, MD, to its vascular surgery team.
Blackwood is an experienced surgeon, researcher, and educator. He previously served as a vascular surgery fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. He has a “special interest” in complex endovascular repair for aortic aneurysms and completed a two-month fellowship in branched and fenestrated aortic aneurysm repairs in Nuremberg, Germany, according to a St. Joseph’s Health news release.
He completed his surgical residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, and Danbury Hospital in Danbury, Connecticut, where he served as surgical chief resident from 2015-2018.
Blackwood earned his medical degree from St. George’s University School of Medicine in Grenada, West Indies, and his bachelor’s degree in biology from Morgan State University in Baltimore.
He was the 2013 recipient of the New York Society of Vascular Surgery Grant Award, and the first-place winner of the 2013 Society of Vascular Surgery Poster runoff competition — the focus of his work being solutions to the current limitations of imaging after endovascular aneurysm repair, the release stated.
Blackwood’s office is located on the main campus of St. Joseph’s Hospital in Syracuse.
