Cardiothoracic Imaging Fellowship

The Cardiothoracic Imaging fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital - Weill Cornell Medical College is a one-year program designed to provide comprehensive training in cardiac and thoracic radiology.

The curriculum includes thoracic imaging (radiography, CT, PET-CT, and MRI), cardiovascular imaging (CT and MRI), and thoracic interventions (biopsy and ablation). Conferences within the division include a bi-monthly interesting case conference specifically targeted for the fellow, and a journal club once a month. The fellow will also attend multiple weekly multidisciplinary conferences covering thoracic oncology, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary medicine, hematology/oncology, and infectious disease. Participation in resident education is expected, including daily mentorship and formal lectures. Research opportunities are available.

Cardiothoracic Imaging fellows experience approximately equal time on cardiac and thoracic services. There is a unique opportunity to work with both fellowship-trained cardiologists and radiologists on the cardiac service. Both services share a reading room and enjoy a tight-knit and collegial relationship. As a result, fellows should expect to see all interesting cases on a daily basis and are welcome to contribute to both services regardless of clinical assignment.

Separate from the Cardiothoracic Imaging fellowship, a combined Body and Cardiothoracic Imaging fellowship is also available, with approximately half of the year dedicated to each specialty. The extent of cardiac and thoracic interventions training can be tailored to the specific goals of the fellow. If you are interested in this position, please indicate this on your application.
