Cardiology Fellowship at Mount Sinai Beth Israel

Over the three year training programs, fellows will:

• Gain an understanding of the anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system.
• Acquire a detailed fund of knowledge regarding the natural history, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the full spectrum of cardiovascular diseases.
• Learn how to critically interpret the literature and incorporate evidence-based medicine into daily practice as well as build a fund of knowledge of the landmark clinical trials governing modern day cardiology practice.
• Acquire proficiency in performing and interpreting: nuclear stress tests, echocardiograms, cardiac CT, invasive and non-invasive angiography, crticial care cardiology including the management of left ventrical support devices, right heart monitoring, diagnostic electrophysiology, Holter and event monitors, ECGs, temporary and permanent pacemaker and ICDs.
• Develop graded responsibility for caring for the full spectrum of cardiac patients including those in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit as well as for those in the ambulatory setting.
• Participate in a meaningful way in clinical research.

We have a superb didactic curriculum for the fellows. Each morning from 7:30am to 8:00am we have Morning Report, where fellows present patients who were admitted overnight and receive feedback on management decisions. Didactic teaching conferences occur twice daily: Morning conference (8:00am to 9:00am) and Noon Conference (12:00pm to 1:00pm). The schedule is as follows:

Research is an important component of our training program and fellows are required to spend dedicated research time pursuing investigative work. We are involved in numerous multi-site national and international trials at any given time. In addition, opportunities exist in all of the clinical laboratories to participate in investigator initiated research.

Each fellow works with a mentor for their project based on their field of interest.
