Anticipated Start Date(s):

Number of position(s) per year:

Description:
We offer a comprehensive 2-year clinical fellowship covering:
Complex ablation (200 cases per year) including AF, VT, atypical atrial flutter in patients with congenital heart disease
Simple catheter ablation (200 cases per year) including WPW, AT, AVNRT
Device implants (PPM (500 per year), ICD (300 per year), BiV devices (150 per year))
Ambulatory EP care (including inherited arrhythmia assessment)
Inpatient EP consultation care (including postop AF management)
We have 4-6 fellows in the program who rotate through the EP lab, device implant room, EP consultation service, and research/ambulatory on a weekly basis as well as CRT. We do emphasize academic EP, so all fellows participate in research projects supervised by one mentor. Our research focus includes ventricular arrhythmia mechanisms and risk evaluation; novel techniques in catheter ablation; and arrhythmias and device implants in adult congenital heart disease.
We have structured rounds twice a week that cover core topics in EP and ECG/EGM interpretation.
To apply, we would need an updated CV, and contact information for 3 referees as well as your educational supervisor. If shortlisted, we would like to meet you if you would be over for a US meeting in the next while, but we have also done Skype interviews as well.
You would also need to demonstrate your proficiency in English by passing the TOEFL exam if the primary language at the university where you took your degree was not English.
