Cardiology Fellowship

The goal of the Duke Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship program is to train future leaders who will provide expert, compassionate care for patients with congenital and acquired heart disease, as well as advance the field through a lifetime of thoughtful inquisition and research. Fellows train directly under a diverse faculty representing a variety of national institutions for an unequalled depth of experience. Particular strengths of the program include:

  • Interventional catheterization
  • Electrophysiology
  • Non-invasive imaging, including cardiac MRI and CT
  • Fetal cardiology
  • Adult congenital heart disease
  • Health care delivery and outcomes research
  • Molecular biology and translational investigation
 
Of the three year’s required training in Pediatric Cardiology, a minimum of 24 months are spent in the clinical arena and 12 months are protected for research. While patient care and clinical research skills are taught to all fellows, a wide variety of basic science training is available, including several NIH-supported research tracks.
