GRADUATE MEDICAL
EDUCATION
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education
(ACGME) accredits the combined efforts of Baylor University
Medical Center, part of Baylor Scott & White Health, and
Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital – Dallas for
the nationally recognized fellowship programs. In fiscal year
2019, the active fellowship programs included Cardiovascular
Disease, Interventional Cardiology, Cardiac Electrophysiology,
Advanced Heart Failure and Cardiac Transplantation, and
Vascular Surgery.
Clinical Cardiology Fellowship
This ACGME-accredited program participates in the National
Residency Match Program. Four positions are offered
annually for three years of training in the clinical fellowship
program. Training is broad-based and includes experience
in the coronary care unit, cardiac surgical intensive care,
cardiac catheterization laboratory, cardiac electrophysiology
laboratory, cardiac non-invasive laboratory, and peripheral
vascular labs. Fellows gain extensive experience in
electrocardiography; echocardiography; rhythm monitoring;
stress testing, including exercise and pharmacologic stress
testing; nuclear imaging; peripheral vascular imaging; cardiac
computed coronary angiography; magnetic resonance
imaging; pacemaker and cardio defibrillator implantation and
programming. Coordinating with the busy Baylor University
Medical Center emergency department medical staff, fellows
gain experience in emergency cardiovascular care.
Active participation in research projects, exposure to clinical
trials, and authorship on original scientific publications assist
the cardiovascular disease fellows with developing critical
thinking to be applied for innovative cardiovascular treatment
and care in the future. Baylor Dallas fellows are challenged
to integrate data into well-communicated, evidence-based
patient consultations, while remaining mindful of the unique
features of each and every patient. Fellows also have
exposure to the Baylor Tom Landry Health and Wellness Center
and the Cardiac Rehabilitation and Return to Work ® programs.
