Curriculum
Over a three-year period, our fellows rotate through various hospital settings, including clinical and non-clinical rotations. The goal is to become at least COCATS level II in cardiac catheterization, echocardiography, electrocardiogram interpretation, and nuclear cardiology. Additional training in PET, cardiac MRI, cardiac CT, vascular imaging, and adult congenital heart disease are available as electives. All fellows are assigned an ambulatory clinic and will spend a half-day every week with their clinic faculty.
