The Cardiovascular Disease Program at Hartford Hospital/University of Connecticut is a three-year program specifically designed to prepare cardiovascular fellows for the practice of Cardiology.
While in the three-year program, fellows receive training in basic cardiovascular diseases, clinical cardiology, and subspecialty practices. This is accomplished in several ways including clinical rotations which allows exposure to cardiovascular related diseases and problems, didactic sessions covering basic mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases, dedicated research months and subspecialty rotations.
During the clinical rotations, the cardiovascular disease fellow interviews, examines and formulates basic evaluations in patients with cardiovascular related illnesses. During subspecialty training, cardiovascular disease fellows are exposed to the practices of cardiac catheterization, preventive cardiology, arrhythmias, nuclear cardiology, echocardiography, cardiovascular surgery, pacemaker techniques and interventional electrophysiology. During the third year, the cardiovascular disease fellow chooses either an invasive or non-invasive track for additional training in one of those areas.
At the completion of the cardiovascular disease program, the fellow is qualified to enter the practice of cardiovascular diseases either in the invasive, non-invasive or clinical areas.
Although, not specifically part of the cardiovascular disease program, interested fellows may choose a fourth year subspecializing in various aspects of cardiology in hopes of pursuing an academic career.
The Interventional Cardiology Program at Hartford Hospital is ACGME approved and is an option for further training.
