Fellowship Clinical Training

Clinical training encompasses diagnosis, imaging, treatment planning, and clinical judgments. Trainees participate in a broad range of clinical experiences in the most advanced modern medical facilities and play an integral role in cutting-edge research projects.

Diagnosis

Fellows learn how to provide outpatient and inpatient consultations for patients with HCM utilizing state-of-the-art imaging modalities such as resting and stress echocardiograms and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, as well as invasive hemodynamic assessments. Fellows will interpret echocardiograms under the supervision of experienced cardiac echocardiographers. There is also an emphasis on family screening and genotype analysis.

Treatment Planning

The fellowship offers extensive exposure to HCM-specific pharmacologic therapy, established and novel, indications for myectomy, and preoperative, intra-operative, and postoperative care of patients in our large volume surgical program. Trainees also conduct evaluation for alcohol ablation and procedure monitoring, indications for electrophysiologic device therapy, and advanced heart rhythm interventions.

Clinical Judgment

The benefits and risks of offered therapies are analyzed, and communication skills honed.

Fellowship Research

Trainees have ample opportunity to participate in investigator-initiated trials and play an integral role in recruitment for drug trials.

Fellowship Teaching

Our trainees have extensive interaction with clinical cardiology fellows in context of consultations, which provides valuable teaching opportunities.
