In our comprehensive one-year Interventional Cardiology Fellowship program, you will gain extensive training in coronary interventions with significant exposure to peripheral and structural procedures.
Fellowship Experience
Thank you for your interest in our Interventional Cardiology Fellowship Program at UAB. Our program provides superior cardiology training in a collaborative environment. We have specialty clinics across our medical campus, which is anchored by our 1,200 bed inpatient center UAB Hospital—the eighth largest public hospital in the nation. The hospital is in close proximity to the Birmingham VA Medical Center, UAB Hospital Highlands campus, The Kirklin Clinic, and Children's Hospital of Alabama, where fellows also train.
Clinical Training
Our program is devoted to training fellows in advanced diagnostic and interventional percutaneous coronary procedures, as well as providing substantive supplemental exposure to noncoronary cardiac, peripheral, and structural diagnostic and interventional, while ensuring competency in basic peripheral vascular procedures (iliac and brachiocephalic).
You will learn how to use a broad range of established and experimental techniques, resulting in the participation of a multitude of diagnostic procedures during the training period.
In addition to performing these procedures, you will be primarily responsible for the pre-procedure assessment and post procedural care of your patients. You will work closely with our highly experienced interventional cardiovascular nurse practitioners/physician assistants, interventional cardiovascular unit nurses, catheterization laboratory, research, and office/administrative staff. You will become a source of reference and assistance to the internal medicine housestaff who rotate through the inpatient cardiology service.
The fellowship program has a core curriculum which is completed through independent reading, patient care, procedures, and weekly interventional conferences.
Research Opportunities
Trainees have the opportunity to initiate, develop, and participate in multi-center and single-center research projects.You will also obtain experience in the clinical and translational interventional cardiology research program.
Let's get acquainted
It's not just what you learn. It's also about the people you learn with. Our cardiology fellowship program leaders are dedicated to developing the potential of every talented trainee.
