Curriculum

Our fellowship curriculum emphasizes both clinical and procedural training. Key
components include:

• Core rotations: Gain experience in catheter-based interventions, coronary PCI to
  include STEMI PCI and CHIP cases. The fellow can expect to gain experience with
  the full gamut of mechanical circulatory support including LVAD and
  ECMO. Training will be provided in management and treatment of peripheral arterial
  disease. There will be exposure to structural heart disease and treatment
  percutaneously. This includes TAVR, Mitral Clip, PFO closure, and Watchman. Our
  structural heart team will start Tri Clip prior to 2026. Training will also be provided in
  management of venous disease and its treatment. We participated in the SPYRAL
  AFFIRM Global Study of RDN. In fact, we were in the top five of enrolling centers
  worldwide. We are currently performing cases outside the study and naturally
  fellows will become competent in this procedure. We expect to be debuting a PERT
  program soon.
• Didactic sessions: Attend regular lectures, case discussions, and hands-on
  workshops to deepen your understanding of interventional techniques
• Interdisciplinary collaboration:
  • Work alongside other specialties, enhancing your approach to complex
    cardiovascular cases, and working with a heart team
