The Cardiology Division of the Department of Medicine of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Presbyterian Hospital offers fellowship training with a strong emphasis on preparation for a career in academic cardiology. The Cardiology Fellowship is a three year training program.
All fellows take two years of clinical training and one year of clinical or basic research training.
There is also an easy option for additional years of research training. The clinical training is designed to provide fellows with knowledge and expertise in clinical cardiology, major invasive and noninvasive techniques, and in cardiology consultation. The discipline to be the subject of research training is selected by the fellow in consultation with investigators in the Cardiovascular Research Training Laboratories. We appoint four cardiology fellows each year for a total of 12 positions in three years. In addition, other fellows are appointed each year for research training only.
