Cardiology Fellowship

The Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center Cardiology Fellowship is a three-year, ACGME-accredited program that offers flexibility to tailor much of the training to the interests of the fellows.

During the first two years, trainees rotate through the cardiac catheterization laboratory, nuclear cardiology, coronary care unit, surgical heart unit/consult service, echocardiography laboratory, electrophysiology service and non-invasive cardiology laboratory.

During their third year, fellows concentrate on research projects and may develop additional expertise in the subspecialty areas of electrophysiology, interventional cardiology or echocardiography. Several electives also are available on-and off-campus.

Our fellowship program's strengths include:

• A highly dedicated core of teaching attendings, all well versed in the latest techniques in their fields.
• A high "teacher to fellow" ratio, allowing continual personal attention and one-on-one instruction.
• A diverse socio-economic and ethnic area allowing fellows to study the full spectrum of cardiovascular disorders.
• The flexibility to tailor much of the training to the interests and skills of the fellows.
• Cardiologists dedicated to keeping their section on the leading edge of the field. Fellows gain experience with the latest technology, including transcatheter ablation, atherectomy, balloon valvuloplasty, coronary stenting, multi-plane transesophageal echo, stress echocardiography and intravascular ultrasound.
• An additional, on-site Electrophysiology Fellowship Program that works concomitantly with the Cardiology Fellowship Program and enhances the electrophysiology training of the cardiology fellows.
• A very competitive Internal Medicine Residency Program in which fellows evaluate and are evaluated by residents, thus providing both learning and teaching opportunities.
