Cardiology Fellowship
Assisted Independent Study Through Distance Education
Our three year program provides 24 months of clinical cardiology and 12 months of research and/or clinical concentration. The Fellowship is open For every one who has two years of experienced in cardiology Residency , The Program is online and Independent Study Mode . The fellowship will be awarded after the exam , The admission is open round the year.
Goals of the program
Simply stated, our primary goal is to Teach the medical residents and transform them into the tomorrow’s leaders in academic and clinical cardiology. We believe that our program provides superb training in all aspects of cardiology in a supportive, collegial, and stimulating environment. Some the attributes of the program are:
Experience in all aspects of both tertiary care and community cardiology. .
Diverse research opportunities.
Ambulatory experience with direct supervision by skilled and experienced clinicians, both in general cardiology and adult congenital cardiology.
Nuclear cardiology training
Experience in advanced tomographic imaging (MRI/CT)
Teachings in the care of cardiothoracic surgical patients.
In-depth training in all aspects of preventive cardiology, including nutrition counseling.
Clinical cardiology
The first two years are devoted to training in all aspects of clinical cardiology. During this time, with close staff mentoring, fellows should work in his country under a cardiology consultants for acutely ill medical and surgical patients; provide ongoing, outpatient care for their own patients and for patients in the UMass adult congenital clinic; and learn to perform and interpret both invasive and noninvasive diagnostic procedures. Fellows are expected to participate in didactic sessions, including the core lecture series, journal club, noninvasive conference, catheterization conference, electrophysiology conference, congenital conference and EKG conference. Time is set aside in the second year to enable fellows to pursue a research project under the guidance of a his own mentor. The third year is designed for completion of research projects; advanced training in such areas as cardiac catheterization, echocardiography, and electrophysiology; and electives such as congenital heart disease and vascular medicine. Fourth year fellowships are offered in interventional cardiology and electrophysiology.
Requirement
This is Independent Study pro gramme , The entire course will be online independent study ,
The student have to manage their own arrangement for practical training and Mentorship ,
The student has to arrange their own Residency Working in a cardiology based hospital.
The Student must work with their own arragement at one state-of-the-art echocardiography, cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology laboratories provide ample opportunity for the education of fellows.
The echocardiography laboratory must performs approximately 12,500 transthoracic, 720 transesophageal and 770 treadmill/dobutamine echocardiograms each year.
The catheterization laboratory must performs approximately 3442 diagnostic procedures and 1826 percutaneous coronary interventions each year.
Vascular interventions must be performed by members of both the division of cardiovascular medicine and the division of vascular surgery.
The state-of-the-art electrophysiology lab must utilizes advanced 3-D electroanatomic mapping systems (CARTO and ESI). Each year, the EP lab implants approximately 400 pacemakers and 400 ICDs, of which 150 are biventricular devices, and performs 250 ablations, of which 130 are for atrial fibrillation.
Research
All cardiology fellows have research blocks in their second and/or third year.
Fellows are expected to produce at least one manuscript or one abstract, with most fellows exceeding this requirement.
As many as twelve months may be devoted to research within the fellowship's three year period.
A fourth year devoted to research is possible with advance planning.
In the past, fellows have completed research projects in the following:
Epidemiology (Worcester Heart Attack Study, Global Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes}
