General Cardiology Fellowship

The General Cardiology Fellowship at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, a teaching hospital affiliated with the University of California at Los Angeles Geffen School of Medicine, is a three-year program that provides training in and exposure to a wide spectrum of cardiac care.

Training during this program includes a continuity clinic (3 years, one half day a week) and rotations on the consult service, cardiac care unit, catheterization laboratory, nuclear and echocardiography training, and advanced imaging (involving both cardiac CT and MR). In addition, a busy cardiac Cardiothoracic surgery service allows fellows exposure to pre-operative and post-operative care issues, and the cardiac catheterization laboratories allow training in all types of peripheral and cardiac interventions. The program allows for up to 10 months of research/elective time during the three years, encouraging fellows to participate in research in a field that will stimulate them and allow individualization of their training to best prepare them for post-fellowship practice, whether academic or in practice.
