The Division of Cardiovascular Medicine is heavily involved in the education of housestaff students and fellows. Students are assigned to the ICCU and the cardiovascular medicine ward, and participate in all rounds and educational activities. There are 8 interns and 8 residents assigned to cardiovascular medicine on a monthly basis who take care of cardiac patients under the supervision of the fellows and staff on the cardiovascular medicine ward, CCU, and consult service. The residents also participate in the outpatient clinic. In addition, residents spend elective time on cardiovascular medicine in the inpatient areas or in the various laboratories.

The Division has a full conference schedule available to students and faculty on a weekly basis including Cardiology Grand Rounds, Visiting Professor Rounds alternating with the Griffith Professor Rounds, M & M Conference, Research Conference, EP Morning Conference, Cath Conference, EP Lecture alternating with Echo Lecture, and the Invasive Cardiology Conference. The Journal Club is held once a month. Recent articles are selected by a faculty member and presented and discussed by the fellows. This conference provides fellows with the ability to critically analyze the literature and helps to familiarize them with biostatistical methods. The Division also sponsors occasional special lectures featuring well-known visiting cardiologists who offer our students their unique knowledge and experience.

At the beginning of each academic year, a series of twenty lectures, known as the core curriculum, are given by the cardiovascular medicine faculty to the fellows on basic and clinical topics in cardiovascular disease.
