First Year – ACGME-Accredited Core Training

The first year of training is ACGME-accredited and focuses on all aspects of coronary intervention, including diagnostic angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and complex coronary disease management. Fellows also gain exposure to intravascular imaging, physiology-guided PCI, and mechanical circulatory support. Peripheral and structural heart exposure is integrated to complement the core curriculum.

Second Year – Tailored Advanced Training (Optional)

An optional second clinical year is available for fellows seeking to customize their training to align with their career goals. This year can be tailored to include focused experience in:

  • Structural heart disease (TAVR, transcatheter mitral and tricuspid repair/replacement).
  • Peripheral interventions.
  • Advanced hemodynamic support and cardiogenic shock management.

The second-year fellow remains clinically active and may participate in attending-level inpatient care and procedural training with graded autonomy under the supervision of faculty.
