The overall education goal of the Adult Congenital Heart Disease and Pulmonary Hypertension Fellowship is to prepare trainees to practice competently and independently as experts in the clinical care of adult congenital heart patients and to advance the field of adult congenital heart disease by scientific discovery.
The clinical program includes training in outpatient and inpatient care with collaboration of multidisciplinary programs including pulmonary vascular disease, advanced heart failure, aortic conditions and connective tissue disorders, electrophysiology, exercise physiology, cardiac imaging, interventional cardiology, quality initiatives and pregnancy and cardiovascular disease. Fellows actively participate in dedicated conferences to discuss management issues in ACHD patients.
