FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS
Advanced Interventional Cardiology & Research

Program Director: Ganesh Raveendran, MD, MS, Professor

Non-ACGME-accredited, 1 year advanced fellowship

The goal of the Advanced Interventional Cardiology and Research Fellowship program is to offer an additional, advanced training opportunity in the field of Interventional Cardiology. The mission is to provide a comprehensive research-based experience, in which, upon completion, the fellow will: 

• Submit a grant proposal 

• Write a comprehensive review of an interventional-cardiology topic 

• Complete a specific research project with an interventional-cardiology mentor 

• Serve as a principal investigator for a clinical trial 

The additional goals of our program is to ensure that each fellow has the opportunity to acquire the knowledge; the clinical, management, and interpersonal skills; the professional attitudes and behaviors; and the experience required to become a proficient Interventional Cardiologist. We anticipate that each Fellow will become proficient in coronary angioplasty, including balloon dilation, atherectomy, and stent placement. In addition, Fellows will gain proficiency in coronary physiology, intravascular ultrasound, coronary blood flow measurement, and percutaneous wound closure. A smaller experience in ASD closure and valve dilation is available.

The Advanced Interventional Cardiology and Research Fellowship is a one year, non-accredited fellowship. To be eligible, applicants must have successfully completed three years of training in an ACGME-accredited Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship as well as a one-year ACGME-accredited Intervential Cardiology fellowship. In addition, all candidates must be board eligible in both Cardiovascular Disease and Interventional Cardiology at the start of training.
