Cardiology Pathway

Cardiology remains a high demand specialty due to the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in the United States.

Cardiology is rapidly growing field with opportunities to develop skills in clinical care (outpatient, inpatient, and critical care), imaging, procedures, and research. This pathway provides our residents with the opportunity to enhance their residency training with a broader and more in-depth range of experiences in cardiovascular medicine. Residents are provided dedicated time to develop and pursue a cardiology-related research project.

The goal of the pathway is to prepare residents for a career in cardiology.

Clinical Experiences

Our program provides residents with the following clinical experiences:

Cardiac ICU
Inpatient cardiology
Cardiology consultative service
Cardiology continuity clinic experience
Echocardiography and ECG
Stress testing and nuclear imaging
Cardiac catheterization
Residents will also gain exposure to advanced cardiac imaging (cardiac CT and cardiac MRI)

Tailored Opportunities

In addition to cardiovascular electives, residents in the pathway will benefit from the following:

Semiannual meetings with the cardiology program director and cardiology faculty to discuss goals and progress
Mentorship pairing for a research project
Weekly didactic cardiology conferences including echocardiography conference
Opportunities to attend and present research at national and international cardiology conferences
