Training
Program
The Yale University Fellowship Training Program in Cardiovascular
Disease provides the trainee with outstanding skills in clinical
cardiology and cardiovascular research. Fellows will develop their
basic and clinical knowledge, procedural skills, clinical judgment,
professionalism and interpersonal skills required as a specialist in
cardiovascular diseases. The program emphasizes training of academic
cardiologists who will become leaders in the field of cardiovascular
disease. For more information, download our Complete Program Brochure.
Application
Process
The program accepts five trainees per year for a minimum of three
years. All applications for the 2009
Training Program in Cardiovascular Medicine will be electronically
processed through the ERAS
(Electronic Residency Application Service) website (http://www.aamc.org/audienceeras.htm).
Interviews are granted by invitation in the spring. The Section of
Cardiovascular Medicine actively supports the Yale University policies
and programs for affirmative action. The Fellowship Program is fully
committed to recruitment and development of minority group members and
women for careers in cardiology. The Yale Section of Cardiovascular
Medicine participates in the Cardiology Fellowship Match Program.
Deadline for submitting applications to ERAS is December 31, 2007.
Facilities
The program provides clinical cardiology training which is based at two
sites. Yale-New Haven Hospital
serves as a primary care hospital for the greater New Haven area and as
a tertiary care center for southern New England. The West Haven VA Medical Center
serves as a primary care hospital for the state of Connecticut, and as
a tertiary care center for the southern New England and New York areas.
The patients from these institutions represent a wide variety of common
and rare cardiovascular disorders and provide excellent exposure to all
areas of cardiovascular medicine.
Overview
of Program
Initial fellowship training includes two intensive clinical years
dedicated to acquiring broad skills in clinical cardiology. This
initial training is followed by one to three subsequent years of
advanced training. Advanced training is offered in interventional cardiology, clinical electrophysiology, nuclear cardiology, echocardiography, heart failure, clinical epidemiology and health
services research, and basic cardiovascular
research. In certain cases, specialized research training may occur
prior to basic clinical training.
Cardiology trainees are expected to take an active role in
clinical or basic science research.
Guidance is provided by Dr.Robert McNamara (Fellowship
Director), Dr. Raymond Russell (Fellowship Assistant Director), and Dr.
Forrester Lee (Interim Section Chief), as well as other faculty members
and mentors. A specific mentoring program will pair a faculty member to a fellows for general mentorship of career
goals and training. In most cases, this relationship will begin prior
to the formal start of fellowship in order to help with the transition.
Research training is available in all clinical subspecialties, clinical
epidemiology and health sciences research and several areas of basic
and translational cardiovascular research.
Fellows are eligible to receive support for basic science
research training through an NIH sponsored training grant. Training in
basic science research is also available in selected Medical School
laboratories outside of the Section. Fellows with particular interest
in clinical research are encouraged to apply to participate in the
Robert Wood Johnson Clinical
Scholars Program, or the Investigative Medicine Ph.D.
program which offers doctoral degrees in basic or clinical research
within the context of fellowship training.
