Interventional Cardiology
The Interventional Cardiovascular Training Program at Jackson Memorial Hospital in affiliation with Miami VA Medical Center and University of Miami Hospital has been designed according to the specifications of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education- Special Requirements for Training Programs in Interventional Cardiovascular Diseases.
Educational Program
The educational goal of this 12-month fellowship program is to prepare its trainees to function at a high level of clinical performance in interventional cardiology. This includes the development of appropriate clinical judgment in selecting patients for cardiac interventional procedures and a high level of technical skill in performing them. This overall goal has four components:
- To understand the effectiveness and limitations of coronary interventional procedures in order to select patients and procedure types appropriately
- To achieve the appropriate cognitive knowledge and technical skills needed to perform interventional cardiac procedures at the level of quality attainable through the present state of the art
- To foster an attitude of life-long learning and critical thinking skills needed to gain from experience and incorporate new developments
- To understand and commit to quality assessment and improvement in procedure performance
To achieve these goals, the clinical training program is competency-based, and follows all ACGME rules and guidelines. The educational program is directed towards and fulfills all of the ACGME Program Requirements for Fellowship Education in the Subspecialties of Internal Medicine and the Program for Added Qualifications in Interventional Cardiovascular Disease. Fellows are expected to participate in clinical, basic, or health services research.
