Individualized Support
We know mentorship is imperative in guiding the next generation of cardiology subspecialists, and we have a program in place to support your career planning and development.
Our graduates tout their mentorship as one of the most valuable experiences in our program.
Mentorship Structure
When you start fellowship, you'll be assigned a faculty mentor. Your mentor will help you navigate your training and be a point of contact for any questions or concerns you have along the way.
You and your mentor must meet at least twice per academic year, but we highly encourage you to meet more often. This relationship is longitudinal and can ideally evolve into a peer mentorship as you progress in your career.
You also can form relationships with mentors outside our fellowship and division through partnerships with the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, other schools at UW-Madison, and UW Health.
The Ways We Mentor You
Career Development
Pair with a faculty member to support your general career development during training and beyond. Career mentors provide guidance on building a CV and portfolio, applying to jobs, seeking out a career path in the field, and other general guidance as training progresses.
Clinical and Basic Research
World-renowned researchers committed to mentorship and collaboration.
Quality Improvement
