Cardiac Electrophysiology
The goal of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine / Jackson Memorial Hospital Fellowship Program in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology is to offer further subspecialty training to interested cardiology fellows in the diagnosis and management of patients with cardiac arrhythmias including all appropriate invasive and noninvasive methods for evaluation and drug, device and ablative forms of therapy.
Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellowship Program
The Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellowship Program is an ACGME accredited two year training program with complex ablation and/or specialized laboratory or animal research. Our fellows are an integral part of the Cardiology Division and assist in all aspects of consultative and interventional electrophysiology. The training program is based at Jackson Memorial Hospital, but the fellows spend time at the University of Miami Hospital & Clinics – UHealth Tower, and the Miami VA Hospital as well.
CVD to CCEP Alternative Training Pathway Pilot Program
The CVD to CCEP is a new tailored, competency-based cardiovascular disease (CVD) curriculum to select trainees to allow early career focus in clinical cardiac electrophysiology (CCEP) during the third year of CVD training. This will result in completion of training in both specialties in 4 years (rather than 5 years as currently required). This pilot program is a new training pathway approved by the ACGME, and sponsored by the ACC and HRS, and currently open to 20 programs in the country.
Participants in this pathway will be expected to meet milestones for both CVD and CCEP and thus be eligible for the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) CVD and CCEP certification exams. The ideal pilot program candidate has a strong early interest in EP and has demonstrated early achievements in CVD competencies. One spot will be offered yearly to a fellow from our CVD program. Fellows expressing interest in this pathway will be selected after completion of the first year of their general cardiology training.
