Fellowship Scholarly Activity
Scholarly Tracks
We firmly believe that fellowship is the springboard for future academic success. As such, one of the core tenets of our fellowship program is to provide the flexibility and resources our fellows need to become academic leaders in Cardiology. This includes, but is not limited to, protected research time on our Division’s T32 research grant, an adjusted timeline of clinical activity (still fulfilling COCATS and ACGME requirements), advanced degree opportunities, and numerous advanced fellowship opportunities.
A few examples of possible fellowship timelines are below:
