Welcome from the Program Director

Our Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship is approved by the Orlando Health Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). We produce exceptional cardiologists capable of delivering world-class patient care across all areas of cardiovascular disease management.

Our fellows receive intensive training in all aspects of cardiovascular diseases, including pathology, procedures and clinical settings. In addition, our outstanding faculty, unique urban setting and diverse patient population help prepare fellows for success in their careers.
