Cardiovascular Disease Fellowshiproster verified
Current fellows, where they trained, and the research they've published.
Training and applying
The clinical track emphasizes clinical cardiology, innovation and quality improvement. The traditional academic route offers research-oriented training. Penn describes a minimum three-year general fellowship, with total training potentially extending for research or further subspecialization. Confirm the duration and funding of your intended pathway.

The primary sites are HUP, Penn Presbyterian and the Philadelphia VA. Rotations include consults, cardiac intensive care, catheterization, electrophysiology and imaging. Adult congenital heart disease consultations also include CHOP. These are program-specific rotations, not a list of every Penn-owned hospital.

Penn describes a Fellows' Innovation Fund with statistical support for faculty-mentored projects, cardiovascular informatics resources and access to structured research training. These supports are more actionable than an institution-wide funding total. Specific mentors, funding eligibility and protected time still need confirmation.

The program uses ERAS and the National Medical Specialties Matching Program. Its published checklist includes a CV, personal statement and three references, one from the current program director. The page does not identify an application year, so confirm the current cycle's dates and complete requirements with the program before relying on its timeline.
