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 University Hospital
and Clinics in New Orleans, Veterans Affairs Medical Center
New Orleans and the Medical Center of Louisiana at New Orleans
- University Hospital Campus. Clinical rotations include
Cardiac Catheterization, 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 2008-2009 Cardiology
Fellowship Manual for more information.
