Biography
Dr. Vance Lehman obtained a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry and completed medical school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He then completed a radiology residency and neuroradiology fellowship at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. Dr. Lehman has been a consultant neuroradiologist at Mayo Clinic since 2012. He is currently an Associate Professor of Radiology, having authored or co-authored over 120 peer-reviewed academic research and educational articles. He has served as head of neuroradiology education (which oversees greater than 50 residents and 6-7 fellows per year, and medical students) at Mayo Clinic and has been a long-term member of the neuroradiology physician recruitment committee, amongst many other appointments. He recently received the 2024 Carman Excellence in Education Award from Mayo Clinic. Dr. Lehman’s clinical practice focuses on innovative advanced imaging techniques and interventions, including minimally invasive MRI-guided neurointerventional/neurosurgical procedures in the brain, including MRI-guided focused ultrasound and laser interstitial thermal ablation. For these procedures, he works side-by-side with the Mayo Clinic neurosurgical faculty and trainees. On the innovation side, he spearheaded the first focused ultrasound program for refractory facet joint pain in the Unites States and established the intracranial vessel wall imaging program at Mayo Clinic. He is active in several radiology and interventional pain management professional societies, including serving frequently on key committees (educational, research, evidence-based medicine, meeting planning). He is frequently invited to speak at national and international venues. In his personal life, he is the proud spouse of an accomplished Mayo Clinic physician in dermatology/dermatopathology and enjoys raising their two daughters. He has a strong interest in personal health and fitness (frequently participating in half and full marathons, including the Boston Marathon) and other aspects of well-being.
