Curriculum

Fellows complete core rotations on inpatient services including: Consultations, Heart Center, Electrophysiology, Advanced Heart Failure, and the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit. Fellows have dedicated procedure blocks in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory.

Core imaging rotations include Echocardiography and Nuclear Imaging. Upper-level fellows also have an opportunity to read cardiac MRIs with our radiology team. The department also provides funding for an online cardiac CT course that has received very positive feedback from our fellow cohort.

Fellows have dedicated outpatient general cardiology continuity clinic one half day per week throughout all three years of training. Nighttime coverage is through a night float system, with a first or second year fellow providing weeknight coverage. Weekend call responsibilities are shared between fellows in all years.

There is dedicated elective time throughout the fellowship, with more blocks in the second and third years to allow fellows to focus their time based on their individual interests and career path. Starting in the 2024-2025 academic year, we will be implementing innovative tracks to help fellows enhance their elective time, based on their individual career goals. Track options will include noninvasive imaging, research, invasive (EP or interventional), quality improvement, and medical education. Fellows will continue to have flexible elective time outside of their chosen track to utilize as well.
