Program Overview
Cardiovascular Medicine Fellowship
The core training program includes supervised experience in the full spectrum of cardiovascular disciplines including both inpatient and outpatient cardiovascular consultation, critical-care cardiology, post-operative management of cardiovascular surgical patients, interventional cardiology, clinical electrophysiology, heart failure / cardiac transplantation, and cardiovascular imaging. During the third year of the program, elective time is available to structure in research, and further training in areas of interest.
From a Fellows'Perspective
Our Fellowships
We offer a 3 year training program in cardiovascular fellowship training, as well as subspecialty training in interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, and advance heart failure/cardiac transplantation. We also have a one year position for structural interventional cardiology.
Innovative Training
Cardiovascular education is an ongoing dynamic field. As such we continue to look for and experiment with new and novel ways to help facilitate and augment our trainees education. We continue to develop our curriculum for simulation training using the Mentice cath lab simulator to augment the trainees hands-on experience with cardiac catheterization procedures.
CVD to EP 2+2 Training Pathway Pilot Program
In conjunction with the ACC and as of approved by ACGME, we are one of 20 programs selected to participate in the CVD-CCEP pilot program to shorten the overall length of training for fellows interested to pursue EP training. In this pathway we are able to offer 1 fellow per year an opportunity to enter into the 2-2 pathway. The 3rd year of general cardiovascular disease training is blended with the 1st year of EP, therefore shortening the overall length of training by 1 year.
A word from our Chief Fellows:
"Our cardiology fellowship program provides us a well-rounded education that prepares us well for our future careers. We see a wide variety of patients and have exposure to all aspects of cardiology. We have a diversity amongst our faculty and fellows which lends to a rich working environment. We are given significant autonomy, and are always supported by the faculty. There are daily didactics. Located in beautiful south Florida there are endless activities to enjoy year-round when we’re not in the hospital!"
