Program overview

The Fellowship in Interventional Cardiology at Medical City Fort Worth is designed to provide the trainee with high-quality instruction and experience in interventional cardiology. The volume is high in both cardiac and peripheral interventions.

The program is 12 months in duration and is ACGME approved for two annual positions. Residents may be accepted into the program only after successfully completing three years of general internal medicine training and three years of general cardiology training. The base training institution is Medical City Fort Worth.

The goals of the interventional cardiology fellowship include

1. Identification of cardiology disease states that are amenable to catheter-based intervention
2. Development of the medical knowledge and technical skill to perform appropriate catheter-based interventions and providing appropriate pre- and post-procedure care.

Continuity outpatient clinic training is provided at Medical City Fort Worth as well as at affiliate sites (in the ambulatory care facilities of the teaching faculty). The program is designed to provide educational and experiential input from a broad range of specialty providers.

At the successful completion of the program, the Fellow will have received adequate instruction and experience to qualify for Level 3 skills in interventional cardiology.

Program details

Fellows complete a one-year training program. Every month is based in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.

Working hours are generally 7:00am — 7:00pm. Fellows receive 20 days of paid time off which can be used for vacation, personal needs, sick time and holidays.

The curriculum, including its didactic core, is molded after the recommendations and core competencies in the COCATS document. Didactics will be delivered through the cardiology lecture series presented by faculty and cardiology fellows which include weekly cardiac catheterization conferences, cardiology conferences, journal club, and daily academic rounds on all rotations.
