The student will be encouraged to become familiar with the indications for and to observe other major cardiology activities including exercise or pharmacologic stress exercise EKG, echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, and inpatient cardiac rehabilitation. If a student has a strong interest in a particular area of cardiology, the program may be modified to accommodate this. There will be no specific exam. Evaluation will be a consensus of the assessments by the three cardiology attendings and the cardiology resident. The elective is offered each month.
Housing is provided.
