Description of fellowship:
The program in pediatric cardiology at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles offers an ACGME-accredited Fellowship program.
The purpose of the training program is to provide residents with a firm
foundation for understanding normal and abnormal cardiovascular conditions, including
a strong emphasis on the pathophysiologic basis of cardiovascular disease. The goal
is to prepare residents for careers as academic pediatric cardiology consultants to
provide optimal care for pediatric patients (from the fetus to the young adult) with
cardiovascular disease.
The program provides a balanced and structured experience in the care of patients on
inpatient units, the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit, in ambulatory cardiology
clinic as well as the cardiac catheterization laboratory, noninvasive cardiology, i.e.
echocardiography, electrocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging, and
electrophysiology. Residents are afforded progressive responsibility commensurate
with their level of training and experience.
