Hands-on interventional cardiology training in the heart of Boston
Fellows in our Interventional Cardiology Fellowship receive hands-on, high-volume training in one of Boston’s busiest academic medical centers. From day one, fellows are treated as essential members of the care team and take on growing responsibility under the guidance of experienced interventional cardiologists.
You’ll spend the majority of your time in our three advanced catheterization labs, where you’ll perform a wide range of procedures including coronary interventions, peripheral vascular procedures and selected structural heart interventions. You’ll also provide clinical care for patients before and after procedures, developing strong clinical judgment and decision-making skills.
In addition to procedural training, the fellowship includes:
- Daily case-based learning and imaging review
- Weekly didactics, journal clubs and multidisciplinary conferences
- One-on-one teaching from faculty with diverse interventional backgrounds
- Exposure to high-risk PCI, complex coronary disease and advanced support devices
Many fellows also take part in active research during their training. Explore our interventional cardiology research opportunities to see how you can contribute to ongoing studies and national clinical trials.
Our goal is to make sure you graduate with the confidence, skills and experience to succeed in any interventional cardiology setting—academic, hospital-based or community practice.
Resources for fellows
Tufts Medical Center offers cardiology fellows a full range of inpatient, outpatient, clinical and research laboratory facilities. Fellows work with the latest technology and highest-quality equipment to support their learning and patient care.
A complete medical library is available through Tufts University School of Medicine, providing valuable resources for study and research.
Fellows have a dedicated, quiet workspace in the Shapur Naimi Fellowship Room. This centrally located area includes desks, computers and a comfortable lounge. Additional cardiology conference spaces include the Modestino Criscitiello Library and the Herbert J. Levine Conference Room. These spaces honor three outstanding cardiologists who helped build the cardiology program at Tufts Medical Center.
