Trainees wishing to emphasize clinical skills may elect advanced rotations in echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, cardiac catheterization, coronary intensive care, electrophysiology or preventive cardiology. Participation in several research projects and completion of at least one research report is expected during the second and third years. During the second and third years of training, trainees will have their area of interest linked to appropriate investigative projects in clinical or basic research. Throughout the fellowship, trainees are encouraged to increase their teaching and administrative capabilities, assuming responsibility for various activities such as Cardiovascular Grand Rounds, Research Conference, Hemodynamic and Graphics Conferences and orientation lectures. Faculty supervision and assistance is provided in each of these activities.
Trainees are active in medical student and medical resident teaching.
