Cardiology Fellowship

Cardiovascular Medicine Fellowship

Thank you for your interest in the General Cardiology Fellowship Program at Saint Vincent Hospital.

Our highly-competitive three-year ACGME-accredited fellowship accepts four fellows annually and provides a comprehensive, hands-on clinical experience across the full spectrum of cardiovascular medicine. The program is designed to build a strong foundation in both invasive and noninvasive cardiology while preparing fellows for advanced subspecialty training or clinical practice.

Fellows benefit from a high-volume, diverse clinical environment with exposure to a broad range of cardiovascular conditions and disease acuity.

Training includes experience across:

  • Four state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization laboratories, including a new hybrid lab
  • A busy inpatient consult service with varied pathology
  • A high-acuity Coronary Care Unit (CCU) with daily teaching rounds
  • A dedicated electrophysiology service with exposure to ablations and device implantation
  • Interventional procedure simulation
  • Simulation training includes diagnostic and interventional procedures, TEE, and cardiac rhythm management
  • Training meets board eligibility criteria for Echo and Nuclear cardiology boards.

Fellows play an integral role in patient care, developing progressive autonomy under the guidance of experienced and supportive faculty.

  • Heart Failure & Advanced Imaging
    • Tufts Medical Center
    • UMass Chan Medical School

  • Congenital Heart Disease
    • Didactic curriculum in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital
    • Clinical rotations in development

Fellows participate in a structured and rigorous academic curriculum, including:

  • Case-based conferences and multidisciplinary discussions
  • Morbidity and Mortality conferences and Journal Club
  • Collaborative conferences with regional academic institutions
  • Opportunities to present research at regional and national meetings
  • Extensive resources for self directed learning

Saint Vincent Hospital offers an Interventional Cardiology Fellowship, and many graduates of the general cardiology program go on to pursue competitive subspecialty fellowships.
