Structural Heart Disease Fellowship

The University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill offers a one-year non-ACGME-accredited advanced fellowship training program in structural heart disease under the supervision of Program Director John P. Vavalle, MD, MHS, FACC. This program will accept one trainee per year and is designed to be completed following training in interventional cardiology.

The goal of this fellowship is to train fully independent operators in all facets of structural heart disease. This will include all procedural aspects of catheter-based non-coronary cardiac interventions to treat congenital or acquired cardiac defects. Training during this fellowship will also provide the knowledge needed for appropriate patient selection, procedural planning, and post-procedural management.

Prerequisites:

Applicants who have completed training in cardiac surgery will also be considered.

How To Apply:
