Our program offers a comprehensive cardiovascular cisease training experience combining outstanding academic teaching in didactic, small group and bedside settings with direct patient care. The program offers electives and outpatient rotations in private practices. The three-year program emphasizes training to develop a fellow into a well-rounded clinical cardiology consultant.
