The fellows’ core didactic curriculum is a longitudinal lecture series that takes place every Thursday morning during a 3-hour time slot. This time is protected in effort to ensure fellow attendance - during this time clinical duties are entrusted to residents and attendings. Over the span of three years lecture topics span the full breadth of core competencies as outlined by the ACGME and defined by the American College of Cardiology. The core curriculum is thoughtfully organized in blocks which span several weeks. Lectures are presented by the Cardiovascular Medicine Division’s core clinical faculty.

Each session begins with one of two high yield presentations: (1) a fellow-led focused board review presentation followed by a selection of corresponding board review questions from the Braunwald’s Heart Disease Review and Assessment or (2) an ECG reading session during which fellows practice ECG interpretation and coding in a ABIM Cardiovascular Disease Examination format.
