The Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship is available through our affiliation with New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital at Columbia University Medical Center. Within the program, pediatric cardiology fellows rotate at both New York-Presbyterian Komansky Children's Hospital at Weill Cornell Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital at Columbia University Medical Center.
The fellowship program combines excellent teaching, mentoring, and personal guidance to help fellows become skilled pediatric cardiologists, scholarly thinkers, and critical investigators. This three-year program fulfills the requirements for sub-board certification under the American Board of Pediatrics guidelines. There are six cardiology fellows each year.
For program information, please visit the following webpage.
Clinical Training
During the first year, fellows gain a solid foundation in clinical cardiology and acquire clinical skills through various rotations at both the Columbia and Cornell campuses. On the Cornell campus, fellows rotate on both clinical services as well as echocardiography. The second-year fellows are expected to assume increasing clinical responsibilities with an emphasis on advanced patient management as well as more advanced imaging techniques. During the third year of training, the primary focus is on research, but fellows continue to participate in different clinical services, assuming increasing responsibility for the clinical care given to patients. Fellows have opportunities for clinical activities tailored to their individual training goals.
Research
Fellows participate in research and are mentored by a Scholarly Oversight Committee based on the Columbia campus. There are opportunities for fellow research on the Cornell campus, as well as between campuses. Fellows participate in a structured research curriculum on the Columbia campus and have access to didactic research support on the Cornell campus as well.
Education and Conferences
The education of our fellows is of paramount importance. Fellows participate in regular didactic lectures as well as patient management conferences on both the Columbia and Cornell campuses.
