The program is a 12-month training experience available to graduates of a fellowship in adult cardiology and will accept one fellow per year. This advanced fellowship will provide expert and dedicated training in cardio-oncology with the aim to train enthusiastic fellows to become outstanding academic leaders in this rapidly growing field. The program will include robust training in a busy outpatient clinical care environment, inpatient consults, didactic teaching, and clinical research. Additional opportunities also exist in translational research and advanced cardiac imaging, which can be tailored to the candidate’s prior experience and career goals.
The Yale Cardio-Oncology Program is an interdisciplinary partnership between the Section of Cardiovascular Medicine and the Smilow Cancer Hospital, allowing for an integrated experience for the fellow and broad exposure to collaboration with oncologists, including dedicated sub- specialty oncology clinics. Completion of this program will provide graduating fellows with the qualifications of an expert cardio-oncologist to start or direct their own program, as defined by level III training (J Am Coll Cardiol. 2020 Nov 10;76(19):2267-2281. doi: 10.1016/j.jacc.2020.08.079).
