Customizing Your Education

The Yale Section of Cardiovascular Medicine offers many ways to customize your educational experience beyond the fellowships offered. We want to help you design a training program that gives you the skills and education you need to be successful in your unique career path.

Our curriculum is based on the ACGME’s core competencies: patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, and systems-based practice. We can provide our full curriculum to interested applicants upon request.
