Cardiology, Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellowship (Arizona)

When selecting your career path, how did you come to decide on electrophysiology (EP)? 

EP is the most intellectual field in medicine.  It never gets boring in the EP lab. I wanted ample lab exposure, so I selected this program with 4 full days of EP lab exposure per week.

Describe the work/life balance in this program.
