*One month each year is reserved for vacation. Selected rotations include approximately one-third time at the James J. Peters (Bronx) Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Due to flexibility in scheduling, duration and timing above is no more than a rough example. There are thirteen four-week months in a year.

**Fellows who elect to pursue advanced training in clinical cardiovascular medicine may add 1 or 2 years for subspecialty training.

***Fellows who elect to pursue training in basic research will complete the required clinical rotations in the first two years (in place of elective/clinical research) and enter a laboratory for two years starting in year three. In some instances, laboratory training may precede clinical training entirely.

****Time on this rotation is also spent in Cardiac Rehabilitation and Preventive Cardiology.
