Our Mission

After training in the UT Pediatric Cardiology fellowship program, the fellow should be conversant in the full spectrum of congenital heart disease, as it relates to the unborn fetus, to how it affects the life of an adult who has survived multiple surgeries and procedures. They should be facile in performing and interpreting congenital echocardiograms, comfortable with interpreting transesophageal echocardiography, and familiar with other imaging modalities available to the cardiologist. They should have sufficient experience in the cardiac catheterization laboratory to perform a basic heart catheterization, understand and interpret the obtained hemodynamic data, and be prepared to make decisions regarding the indications for interventional procedures. They should be comfortable interpreting electrocardiogram, be able to read Holter monitors and exercise study testing results. They will be comfortable managing the cardiac features of neonates with congenital heart disease, post-operative patients, in both the ICU and general ward settings. The fellow will have research opportunities that will allow the preparation, presentation of data, and development of a scientific manuscript. Other related educational opportunities exist, based upon interest, to improve their clinical and scientific skills.
