Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Program

Each fellow in our program receives a diverse clinical experience in the following fields:

• Echocardiography
• Electrophysiology
• Cardiac Care Unit
• General cardiology
• Catheter interventions
• Heart failure
• Cardiovascular disease prevention and consult service
• Cardiothoracic surgery
• Cardiovascular Surgery Intensive Care Unit (CVSICU)
• Congenital heart disease
• Right heart catheterization (RHC)
• Cardiac CT/MRI/Nuclear/PET Imaging
• Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU)
• Women's Health

During the research experience, each fellow works closely with a mentor(s) who will help further the fellow’s research interests. All fellows are expected to participate in a research project that they will present to the Division. Additionally, our fellows receive funding to attend at least one scientific conference a year.

We provide ongoing mentorship for each of our fellows. Our program strives to uphold the Johns Hopkins tradition of clinical excellence, teaching and research. We have a strong history of preparing leaders in the field of academic cardiology, providing them with the tools to become skilled clinicians as well as providing outstanding experience in the field of cardiovascular research.

All fellows are paired with at least three mentors, although many fellows report having several more mentors which may include:

• Career Mentor
• Research Mentor
• Fellow Buddy

Our Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Program has a new early research track that allows you to start research in your second year of fellowship instead of your third year. You have to be selected by a committee in your first year to participate in this track.

Per ACGME guidelines all recruitment interviews are going to be held via zoom. Logistics are still being finalized at this time.
