Cardiovascular Fellowship Program

Our mission is to produce cardiologists who embody the Ignatian value of “Cura-personalis” in both the learning and clinical practice environment and provide the highest quality cardiovascular care to patients across the region with a focus on clinical excellence, patient safety, and delivering evidence-based medicine in a cost-effective manner.

Our specific AIMS:

1. Enhance the fellows’ medical knowledge and leadership skills. We will modify our didactic curriculum to promote active learning. We will provide the fellows with multiple online resources in addition to our multiple weekly didactics and monitor their atendance and progress closely. We will encourage fellows to teach internal medicine residents on the inpatient service and assign them specific topics to discuss with the residents. Our aim is a 100% cardiology board pass rate in the years to come.
2. Train Cardiologists who demonstrate scholastic excellence through practice of evidence-based medicine, life-long learning, inquiry, and dissemination of new scientific knowledge. Our goal is at least 50% of our graduates to have at least one scholarly publication in a peer reviewed journal prior to graduation.
3. To promote the well-being of fellows by creating an environment of caring, not only caring for patients but for each other and for themselves. Progress can be assessed using the annual GME and ACGME surveys in addition to internal program surveys.
