ACGME-accredited heart failure + transplant cardiology fellowship at Tufts Medical Center + Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
The Division of Cardiology at Tufts Medical Center in Boston offers a one-year ACGME-accredited fellowship in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology, conducted in partnership with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. This program is designed for board-eligible or board-certified cardiovascular specialists seeking advanced training in complex heart failure management, heart transplant care, and mechanical circulatory support.
Fellows receive comprehensive clinical training at both Tufts Medical Center and BIDMC, gaining hands-on experience in:
- Inpatient and outpatient care of advanced heart failure patients
- Endomyocardial biopsies
- Pre- and post-heart transplant management
- Ventricular assist devices (VADs) and other mechanical circulatory support
- Novel drug therapies and cutting-edge clinical research
Tufts Medical Center is one of the highest-volume heart transplant centers in New England, supported by five experienced heart failure and transplant cardiologists and a dedicated nursing team. Fellows also train on the specialized cardiomyopathy service, a 14-bed intermediate care unit for patients with advanced heart failure, VADs and transplants.
At Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, fellows gain additional exposure to advanced heart failure therapies, including ECMO management and device-based interventions, in collaboration with interventional cardiology and the nationally recognized Smith Center for Outcomes Research.
Our regional referral network across New England provides unique opportunities for fellows to collaborate with leading heart failure specialists and participate in innovative clinical trials and quality improvement initiatives at both institutions.
