Thank you for your interest in the Fellowship program in Cardiovascular Diseases at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. The Division, under the leadership of John Fox, MD, has 23 full-time faculty members, 18 fellows (six per year) in general cardiology, and four interventional fellows. We provide tertiary care across the entire spectrum of cardiovascular illness to the diverse patient population of the Lower East Side of Manhattan and mid-West side of Manhattan. The training includes two sites: Mount Sinai Beth Israel is the primary site, and Mount Sinai West is the second site. The Division offers a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services including specialization in Echocardiography, Heart Rhythm Management, Invasive and Interventional Cardiology, Nuclear Cardiology and Stress Testing, Cardiac CT, Vascular Imaging, Heart Failure, and Preventive Cardiology. Exposure to advanced heart failure and advanced imaging is available to all fellows.

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:

8 - 9 AM |

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.
