“Not only were my attendings invested in my success as a fellow, they went above and beyond to help me find a wonderful job. I have found my attendings to now be exceptional colleagues, and they are always ready to provide me with a second opinion on challenging cases.
I chose CPMC because I wanted a program whose main objective was to train me to become an exceptional clinician. After graduating from the program, it's easy to see how well I was prepared. I have confidence in managing complex cardiac patients, relying on my procedural and imaging skills, and even participating in clinical trials.
The absence of advanced fellows at CPMC put me on the front lines with the interventionalists, electrophysiologists, and heart failure specialists. I entered into an imaging fellowship and then a clinical position with an excellent skillset and training most would consider advanced for a general cardiology fellow.
Although the main goal of a cardiology fellowship is to prepare trainees to become exceptional clinicians, another important component is to be a stepping stone into a successful cardiology career. I am confident I would not be so fortunate to have my job and career if I had not trained at CPMC”
