Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship
Thank you for your interest in the Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Program at Cooper University Hospital, a core teaching hospital of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School/University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. The Section of Cardiology is a component of the Division of Cardiovascular Disease and Critical Care Medicine in the Department of Medicine. The program is three-years in length and is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
The Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship is designed to provide excellent clinical training in an academic environment. The program consists of three years of broad-based training in clinical cardiology with ample opportunities to participate in clinical and basic research. The first- and second- year rotations consist of the following: Coronary Care Unit and Consultation Services, Cardiac Catheterization, Electrophysiology, Electrocardiography, Echocardiography, and Nuclear Cardiology. The fellows devote time to cardiology outpatient care during each rotation throughout the three years. The third year typically consists of a more focused experience in either noninvasive or invasive cardiology. Substantial emphasis is placed on research with approximately 6 to 12 months devoted to investigation. Most fellows choose to conduct clinical research, but basic science research experience is also available.
Cooper University Hospital has active programs in Interventional Cardiology and Electrophysiology and a fourth year of fellowship will be available in each program.
The Cardiovascular Disease program has an active conference schedule with at least one clinical or didactic conference daily. In addition to a core curriculum, attention is paid to basic science and research. The strength of the Cooper program is teaching and there is an emphasis on a collegial relationship between faculty and fellows.
The following pages will provide specific information about our program, including objectives, curriculum, and conferences.
