Cardiology Fellowship Program

About the Tulane Cardiovascular Training Program

The Tulane University School of Medicine Cardiology Fellowship is a three-year program. The goal of the Tulane University Cardiology Fellowship training program is to train Cardiology fellows in the practice of clinical Cardiology; to teach the knowledge, skills, clinical judgment, attitudes and values that are essential to the practice of Cardiology. As well, we strive to foster humanistic and ethical attributes in our trainees and encourage an appropriate balance between academic endeavors and clinical service.

Tulane Cardiology fellows do rotations at Tulane-Lakeside Hospital in Metairie, LA; Tulane University Hospital and Clinics in New Orleans, LA; Veterans Affairs Medical Center New Orleans, New Orleans, LA. Clinical rotations include Cardiac Catheterization, Interventional Cardiology, Non-Invasive Imaging, Electrophysiology, Cardiology Consults/CCU and Congestive Heart Failure. The amount of time spent at each institution is determined by the particular needs of the individual and the desire to provide a balanced training experience. In addition, trainee participation in basic or clinical cardiovascular research is highly encouraged. During the program, the trainee will move from participation in procedures under very close supervision to independent activity.

The Office of Graduate Medical Education (GME) is responsible for ensuring that all residents and fellows at Tulane University School of Medicine are provided an accredited, educational experience of the highest quality.

See the 2007-2008 Cardiology Fellowship Manual for more information.
