Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship

The University of Maryland School of Medicine offers a three-year ACGME-accredited fellowship training in cardiovascular disease.

Each year, we match six candidates to our general cardiovascular disease program.

Additional training in Interventional Cardiology, Structural Heart Intervention, and Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology are offered as well.

Our comprehensive program provides a rigorous clinical training and a superb didactic curriculum.

The UM Heart and Vascular Center includes numerous expert faculty with specialists in bread and butter cardiology as well as niche areas including cardio-oncology, preventative cardiology, pulmonary hypertension and xenotransplant. In 2024, the UM Heart and Vascular Center was recognized by Becker's Hospital Review as one of 100 hospitals celebrated for outstanding cardiovascular care. 

Our program is exemplified by broad training in a wide range of cardiovascular pathology, high acuity illness, and a diverse patient demographic. Graduates leave competent in the management of complex cardiovascular disease patients, the ability to interpret and incorporate findings from multiple cardiovascular imaging modalities, and exposed to a leading-edge profile of procedures in the Cath and EP labs.

Our training vision encompasses the following ideals:

COVID-19

These past few years, alongside colleagues across the globe, our training program faced challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our institution and our divisional leadership responded dynamically to adapt a highly hands-on and interpersonal training model to the restrictions imposed by COVID precautions. Our current didactic training structure remains robust and has been adapted to a hybrid virtual and in-person learning model.
