Message From the Director of Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital

The Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital stands among the premier cardiovascular training programs globally. Our mission is clear: to train the next generation of academic leaders in cardiology. What truly distinguishes our program is the opportunity for fellows to work side by side with internationally prominent faculty in both clinical care and research—a level of direct mentorship that sets us apart from other institutions.

Located on Manhattan's Upper East Side, opposite Central Park, our beautiful urban campus provides an exceptional environment for cardiovascular training. Our faculty are actively engaged in both clinical excellence and innovative research, fostering a collaborative atmosphere where fellows develop expertise through hands-on experience. The program's size and flexibility allow us to tailor training to match each fellow's interests and career aspirations, while our diverse patient population and complex cases provide unparalleled clinical exposure.

Beyond clinical and academic excellence, our program emphasizes the human side of medicine. Fellows find a welcoming, collegial environment where learning extends beyond hospital walls. New York City offers countless cultural and sporting activities, and our fellows often gather for events at venues from the Bronx’s famous Yankee Stadium to Brooklyn's Barclays Center. This combination of rigorous training, personalized mentorship, and vibrant city life creates an enriching experience that prepares our fellows for leadership roles in academic cardiology while fostering lasting professional relationships.
