Applicants apply for a two-year fellowship with the first year being ACGME-accredited and focused on coronary interventions, and the second year of unaccredited training in structural heart disease interventions. Alternatively, applicants may choose to apply for only the ACGME-accredited training year. You will receive high-quality education in patient evaluation, technical performance, and post-procedural management of simple and complex interventional procedures. There will be opportunities for medical teaching and research. Mayo Clinic has a long-standing tradition of practicing both the art and science of medicine. Physicians, scientists, residents, students, nurses, and allied health staff members work as a team at Mayo Clinic. Our staff clinicians and scientists are called consultants in recognition of their teaching and mentoring role on the team. ![Two people looked at a monitor and had a discussion.](https://pxl-mayoedu.terminalfour.net/fit-in/1024x2000/filters:quality(75)/prod01/channel_2/media/mccms/content-assets/academics/residencies-and-fellowships/cardiology-interventional-fellowship-florida/cardiology-interventional-fellowship-fl-1024X512-WF6170800-0024.jpg) #### [Accreditation](javascript:void(0)) This program fulfills the training requirements as define by the American Board of Internal Medicine and is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). #### [Application process](javascript:void(0)) ### Positions One applicant is selected on a competitive basis for the Interventional Cardiology Fellowship program at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. ### Qualifications To be eligible for the Interventional Cardiology Fellowship, you must have successfully completed three years of cardiovascular training and three years of internal medicine residency.

You will be responsible for pre-procedural patient evaluation, informed consent, and post-procedural care in conjunction with the attending physician. Clinical responsibilities advance as appropriate to your level of training and ability. In the fourth quarter of the first year, you will have increased autonomy and have the opportunity to be the primary operator of a catheterization suite with a technician. The attending physician is present in the control room to assist as needed. Also, during the fourth quarter, as a first-year fellow, you will start to become involved in structural procedures and participate in the structural clinic. As a second-year fellow, you have similar patient care responsibilities and, in addition to structural cases, participate in limited night and weekend call to maintain percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) skillset. During the fourth quarter, as first-year fellows begin their involvement with structural procedures, second-year fellows participate in the daily PCI case rotation. The outpatient clinic consists of new patient evaluations as well as follow-up of previously seen patients. You will perform any indicated procedure on these patients in conjunction with the attending physician. #### [Evaluation](javascript:void(0)) To ensure that you acquire adequate knowledge and develop the appropriate technical skills to meet program expectations, your performance is monitored carefully during the program. You are evaluated formally by the supervising faculty member after each clinical rotation, and you will meet with the program director to review these evaluations. In addition, you will also regularly evaluate the faculty to ensure that your educational needs are being met.
