About Our Program

The University of Wisconsin Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) fellowship trains you to be a leader. From your first day, you'll function as a junior colleague working at the center of the action. 

We provide advanced education in all areas of cardiovascular medicine and multi-modality imaging subspecialties—and let you tailor the program to meet your career goals.

Meet Our Program Director

“Our program focuses on individualized clinical training, education and close mentorship. On the first day of fellowship, I meet with all the fellows, learn who they are, where they’re coming from and what their goals are—and then make it happen."

What Learners Say

"The education by faculty is great. I have often found myself working 1:1 alongside nationally recognized figures who are clearly devoted to my education and development as a future colleague."

"Cardiovascular medicine is hard work. It is a demanding field and we take care of the sickest of the sick. The training I received at UW not only prepared me to excel in my clinical practice, but also left me with countless colleagues and team members who I can always rely on for help—even years after completing training."
