The Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Training Program at Tufts Medical Center prepares physicians to become highly skilled cardiovascular specialists. Fellows are involved in all aspects of the Division of Cardiology and the CardioVascular Center, including bedside care, procedural training, education and research.
During the third and fourth years, fellows rotate through a broad range of inpatient and outpatient cardiovascular services, including:
- Advanced cardiac imaging with CT and MRI
- Cardiac catheterization
- Cardiac intensive care
- Community cardiology
- Echocardiography
- Electrophysiology
- Heart failure
- Nuclear cardiology
- Preventive cardiology
- Vascular medicine
After completing core cardiovascular training, fellows can pursue advanced subspecialty training in electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, or heart failure and transplant. They also have access to extensive research opportunities in basic and translational science through the Molecular Cardiology Research Institute and specialized clinical research training at the Institute for Clinical Research and Health Policy.
Fellows play a key role in medical education, collaborating closely with residents and medical students as both consultants and mentors.
