The practice is supported by an extensive network of collaborative services, including advanced cardiac imaging, cardiothoracic surgery, electrophysiology and arrhythmia management, interventional cardiology, cardio-oncology, adult congenital heart disease, high risk obstetrics/maternal cardiology, pulmonary hypertension, and advanced heart failure and cardiac transplantation. The general cardiovascular disease fellowship trains nine fellows a year, and also has several fellows undergoing training via the physician-scientist training pathway. The Division supports a large number of clinical research investigations and clinical trials.
The candidate should be an MD or DO board-certified in adult cardiovascular disease and should be well-versed in ambulatory general cardiology. Interest in cardiac imaging, including 2-D transthoracic, transesophageal, 3D, and stress echocardiography is desirable.
