The Interventional Cardiology Fellowship at Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak is a one-year ACGME-accredited program. An optional second year, based upon availability, allows expanded research opportunities and advanced interventional training.

Our goal is to prepare our fellows for a leadership role in academic and clinical cardiology. Interventional fellows at Beaumont are exposed to a wide spectrum of cardiovascular conditions and an array of clinical and basic science research opportunities. By the end of the fellowship, fellows are expected to be proficient in coronary interventional technique, as well as pre-procedure evaluation and post-procedure patient follow up. A commitment to clinical research is encouraged.
