About the Program

The cardiovascular disease fellowship is a three year program designed to train highly skilled specialists and consultants in cardiovascular medicine. Our program is set in a busy urban teaching hospital equipped with the latest technologies in cardiovascular medicine. The program includes a core group of rotations that provides a well-founded understanding of contemporary cardiology. In addition, the research, elective, and flexible components of the fellowship allow the trainee, in collaboration with the program director and mentor, to fashion a program that prepares him/her for different career paths in cardiovascular medicine. 

The fellow will be exposed to all areas of cardiovascular medicine including cardiac catheterization and intervention, electrophysiology, echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, cardiac MR and CT, cardiac rehabilitation, as well as allied fields such as cardiac and vascular surgery.  In 2010 the hospital will unveil a new building which will house new state-of-the-art electrophysiology and interventional laboratories.

• Positions: 3 Fellows per year
• On-call: Fellows do in-house call on average one in nine nights, front weighted to the first year.  Fellows go home after conference and sign out the morning after call.

The Program Director is Todd Kerwin, MD, FACC, FASNC, Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College.
