The Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology Fellowship includes four transplant cardiologists, three cardiovascular transplant surgeons, three mid-level providers, three VAD coordinators, and four pre-post transplant RNs.

Even though you will be under the Department of Transplant sharing a collegial relationship with other solid organ subspecialty colleagues, you have direct access to the Cardiovascular Department faculty at Mayo Clinic in Florida throughout your training in the Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology Fellowship. You will also interact with specialists in adult congenital heart disease, transplant infectious diseases, nephrology, thoracic diseases, cardiac anesthesiology, critical care medicine, transplant pharmacist, and pathology.

From the program director

Welcome to the Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Fellowship program at Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, Florida.

This fellowship is designed to provide you with unique exposure to our subspecialty, especially since we're under the umbrella of the Department of Transplant in our institution with direct exposure to the evaluation, management, and follow-up of patients with different stages of heart failure, mostly advanced. As well as the use of a diverse array of temporary and durable mechanical circulatory support, state-of-the-art unique research opportunities in the field, hands-on procedures including endomyocardial biopsies and diagnostic cardiac catheterizations, and close collaboration with other solid organ transplant programs.

Highlighted in the clinical experiences is the joint collaboration of the “heart team” between cardiothoracic surgeons, interventional cardiologists, electrophysiology, intensivists, procurement coordinators, and many others. We're a high-volume transplant center, with extraordinary rankings in the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (data for Mayo Clinic Hospital) in national survival in the heart transplant waitlist, as well as one-year heart transplant survival. We also perform combined solid organ transplants including heart-kidney, heart-lung, and heart-liver, and have an active cardiac amyloid multidisciplinary clinic as well as other complex cardiomyopathies.

Our fellowship will offer you the opportunity to interact with and learn from leaders in the field of advanced heart failure, temporary and durable mechanical circulatory support, transplant medicine, and especially heart transplantation.

Thank you for your interest in our program and feel free to reach out to me, our associate program directors Rohan Goswami, M.D. and Melissa Lyle M.D., or other members of our division.
