T he Fellowship Training Program
in Cardiovascular Disease is an
ACGME-accredited program that is designed to prepare men and women for an academic career of excellence in cardiology research, teaching, and patient care.
We have 2 training pathways:
In the Traditional Pathway fellows begin the program with 2 years of clinical training, followed by a 3rd (and optional 4th) year of dedicated research.
In the Research-First pathway fellows begin the program with 2 years of dedicated research training, followed by 2 years of clinical training.
Both pathways are designed to train academic cardiologists. Fellows in either pathway may pursue laboratory-based, clinical, or population-based research.
Prerequisites include completion of an accredited 3-year residency in Internal Medicine, outstanding clinical skills and demonstration of prior research interest and experience. Applicants interested in the ABIM research track (with only 2 years of Internal Medicine training) are eligible for the research-first pathway, which requires 3 years of research training.
The pathways are integrated so that the 6 fellows on clinical rotations for each of the 2 clinical years include participants from both the traditional and research-first pathways. Application to both pathways is made via the ERAS online application system.
During the interview process, candidates are asked whether they are interested in one or both
pathways. Traditional track positions are filled via the National Residency Matching program.
Special areas of expertise of our fellowship program include vascular biology, echocardiography, electrophysiology, heart failure and cardiac transplantation, new imaging procedures, bioengineering, health services, and clinical trials.
