The one-year ACGME accredited fellowship program will provide specialized training in the inpatient and outpatient management of the spectrum of patients with heart failure, from initial diagnosis to consideration of high-risk cardiac surgery, transplantation, mechanical circulatory support, medical management and end-of-life care.

Training will include hospital management, pre- and post-transplant evaluation and therapy, adult congenital heart disease evaluation, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, cardiac biopsy and CRT/ICD device management. The fellow will also be integrally involved with the busy Mechanical Circulatory Support Service and will participate in ventricular assist device (VAD) patient selection, peri-operative care and outpatient management.

The fellow will also have the opportunity to participate in research which spans the gamut from translational research to pharmaceutical and device therapy.
