Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Program

The Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Program at Scripps Clinic trains top candidates to become leaders in cardiovascular medicine. Program highlights include the following:

Every June, we celebrate the graduation of our fellows, and it is bittersweet. It is like sending your kid off to college. On one hand, we will miss them because they have been part of our daily lives for three years and we have developed a relationship and friendship. On the other hand, graduation is a celebration, in part, because we feel a tremendous sense of pride in the type of cardiologist we are sending into the world. They are quickly identified as leaders in their future medical groups, they continue to be productive in research, they join leadership roles in national cardiology societies, and they are such outstanding clinicians that we would be happy and find great comfort if they were to care for our own family members. We spend three years setting them up for success and it is exciting to see them launch.

No sooner have we finished waving our goodbyes than we turn around to welcome four new fellows and again begin the process of mentorship and education. These fellows are attracted to Scripps Clinic’s outstanding faculty, the division’s excellent educational curriculum, and the opportunity to care for a diverse pathology. We offer fellowship candidates a unique, balanced opportunity to train outstanding clinicians, clinical trial-ists and basic scientists.
