Advanced Echocardiography Imaging Fellowship

The Stanford Echocardiography and Cardiovascular Imaging section offers a one-year non-ACGME fellowship program.

This dedicated clinical imaging fellowship training is echo focused, designed to provide advanced echo training and fulfill the COCATS requirements for level III training in echo, including significant experience with transesophageal echo guidance of transcatheter structural interventions. Structural interventions currently offered at Stanford include mitral valve repair, mitral valve replacement, tricuspid repair, tricuspid replacement, paravalvular regurgitation repair, left atrial appendage occlusion, and atrial and ventricular septal defect closure. It is expected that fellows that complete this training will pursue board certification in echocardiography.
