General Goals: nuclear cardiology training requires an understanding of cardiovascular pathology, physiology, and anatomy. These methods provide important diagnostic and prognostic information. As a first or second year fellow, the 2 months required in this area is designed to provide the general (level I) training necessary for a clinical cardiologist to understand the role of nuclear cardiology and cardiac CT in general clinical practice. This rotation will serve to allow the fellow to achieve competence in stress testing procedures. As an elective (additional months in the 2nd or 3rd year)

General Goals: Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology requires an understanding of cardiac physiology, and anatomy, as well as cellular electrophysiology. Fellows must be able to diagnose and treat a variety of acute and chronic arrhythmias. This requires knowledge of safe and effective use of antiarrhythmic drugs as well as indications for pacemaker and defibrillator implantation, radiofrequency ablation, and electrophysiology testing. In addition, fellows are taught appropriate evaluation and management of documented or suspected arrhythmias, as well as risk stratification for sudden death. From

General Goals: The goals for the rotation include a broad experience in consultative/inpatient cardiology. This will include acutely ill patients in the intensive care units. In general, critically ill cardiac patients are evaluated by the CCU fellow, although the consult fellow may be called to assist in the evaluation of patients in the ED. Additionally consults will be seen and evaluated on the general medical and surgical floors. Through participation in the initial evaluation and ongoing care of these patients, the fellows will broaden their knowledge base in cardiology and in

General Goals: The goal of the rotation is to better understand the role of invasive testing in the modern day management of cardiovascular disease. The interaction and integration of the history and physical exam, pre-procedure imaging studies, hemodynamic and invasive imaging will be critically evaluated throughout the rotation. The fellow will have the opportunity to interact with multiple specialists with expertise in various areas of invasive/interventional cardiology. The fellow will be able to perform diagnostic procedure under direct attending supervision. Objectives: During the
