All of the cardiology faculty participate in some aspect of our teaching program. Fellowships The Cardiology Fellowship at the University of Utah is a four-year program which prepares its graduates for careers in academic medicine. Fifteen months are devoted to general clinical training. Most fellows spend an additional six to twelve months of specialized training in one of the clinical subdisciplines of Cardiology.
Most trainees spend the first twelve months in clinical training.
The following two years are usually spent in research. The fourth year includes a three-month general clinical training period and six months of clinical specialization. A broad choice of research is available, from purely clinical research to the most fundamental basic research. Our strongest research areas include clinical electrophysiology, clinical heart transplantation, clinical congestive heart failure management, preventive cardiology, thrombolytic strategies, excitation-contraction coupling, biochemistry of the vascular endothelium, receptor biochemistry, human genetics and molecular biology. Extensive didactic teaching, including some required university courses, is provided.
