Cardiology Fellowship, Royal Oak

Welcome to the Cardiovascular Fellowship at Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak. I am delighted to introduce you to our educational program. The goal of our program is to train highly skilled and compassionate cardiologists with a broad range of clinical interests. Our fellows are not only given the opportunity to learn and develop skills in our prolific interventional and advanced cardiac imaging departments, but also have the opportunity to

work side by side with our celebrated academic faculty on comprehensive research projects. We pride ourselves on our strong clinical training, and in the past several years, all of our fellows have achieved COCATS II level training in cardiac catheterization, cardiac CT, and echocardiography and have the opportunity for training in nuclear cardiology and cardiac MRI as well. Our meticulously designed educational curriculum includes daily lectures from both internal and external faculty and several weekly subspecialty conferences. Additionally, our impressive grand rounds schedule introduces our fellows to the top minds in cardiology across the country.

As the program director, I take pride in mentoring fellows to achieve their career goals and helping them be the best clinicians they can be. We also place a strong emphasis on fellow well-being and a proper work-life balance during training. Overall, we have developed a rigorous and thorough clinical training program that has produced exceptional clinicians across the country. We hope you apply to our fellowship.
