Fellowship

The Montefiore Einstein Cardiology Fellowship aims to train expert cardiologists. This program includes both rigorous core clinical training, as well as a period of flexible time for career focus and research. The structured core curriculum allows trainees to learn the basics of contemporary cardiology, achieving the cognitive knowledge, procedural skills, interpersonal skills, professional attitudes, and practical experience required for a career within cardiology—whether in academics, clinical practice, clinical investigation, or basic science.

The flexible time provided in the Montefiore Einstein Cardiology training program allows fellows to shape their own training to prepare for a dynamic and fulfilling career ahead, while also participating in various research opportunities. These research opportunities are available in conjunction with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and within our cardiology division. Areas of study and expertise-building include the following and more:

• Imaging
• Interventional
• Electrophysiology
• Heart Failure
• Cardiac Critical Care
• Preventative Cardiology
• Cardio-oncology
• Cardio-obstetrics

Fellows of the Montefiore Einstein Cardiology in-house call training program, which encompasses two programs treated and functioning as one, will enjoy access to an exciting curriculum led by collaborative, congenial, and supportive faculty. The twelve-member clinical fellow class of diverse backgrounds and interests regularly interact with advanced fellows in interventional, structural, heart failure, electrophysiology, and cardiac imaging, with opportunities to gain expertise in a robust array of pathologies and procedures.

Additionally, with multiple hospital training sites, fellows work side-by-side with more than 70 full-time faculty members of all cardiology subspecialties, many with local, national, and international leadership roles. This unique access to leaders in their fields allows for excellent subspecialty matches and job placement following completion of the cardiology training program.

The Montefiore Einstein Cardiology Fellowship is the ideal training program for candidates seeking to immerse themselves in a comprehensive, professional, and esteemed learning environment. The training program spans all aspects of cardiology in several phases of care and in a range of hospital settings. Graduates become facile in “bread and butter” cardiology, as well as advanced cardiac care, including:

• Cardiac intensive care
• Advanced mechanical support
• Cardiac transplant
• Complex interventional and structural procedures
• Advanced electrophysiology procedures
• Advanced imaging

All Montefiore Einstein Cardiology fellows have the opportunity to achieve COCATS level 2 certification in echocardiography and nuclear cardiology, and are eligible for board certification. Additionally, the third year of the fellowship allows trainees to specialize in a particular area of interest (e.g. echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, cardiac catheterization, electrophysiology, and cardiac CT, to name a few).

The primary training locations are the Montefiore Einstein Moses and Weiler campuses, with additional rotation sites including Jacobi Medical Center. Montefiore Einstein serves the Bronx and surrounding communities, allowing trainees exposure to a wide variety of pathology and severity, as well as an opportunity to serve a diverse demographic of patients needing care and expertise.
