Three-month Visiting Cardiovascular Fellowship

The didactic component (including 50 hours required to satisfy the ACC/AHA Level II guidelines) will include participation in the Cardiovascular CT & MR seminar offered in the department twice a year. The seminar provides 28.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits(tm) toward the ACC/AHA Level II guidelines. Additional didactic time will be accumulated through attendance at daily clinical and radiology conferences. The tuition for the seminar will be included in the fee for the three-month fellowship. Visiting fellows are strongly encouraged to schedule their three-month fellowship to overlap with one of the seminars, although we will attempt to accommodate those for whom such arrangements are not possible by allowing them to attend the Part I either before or after their three-month fellowship.
