The Interventional Cardiology Fellowship at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, provides a broad-based learning experience in all aspects of interventional cardiology. Applicants may apply for a two-year fellowship with the first year being ACGME-accredited and focused on coronary interventions, and the second year of unaccredited training in structural heart disease interventions. Alternatively, candidates may choose to apply for only the ACGME-accredited training year.

You receive high-quality education in patient evaluation, technical performance of simple and complex interventional procedures (including appropriate use of hemodynamic support), and post-procedural management, as well as opportunities for clinical teaching and research.

Mayo Clinic has a long-standing tradition of practicing both the art and science of medicine. Physicians, scientists, residents, students, nurses, and allied health staff members work as a team at Mayo Clinic. Our staff clinicians and scientists are called consultants in recognition of their teaching and mentoring role on the team.

Mayo Clinic's academic environment, favorable faculty ratio, large patient population, and state-of-the-art diagnostic, therapeutic, and research facilities combine to create a truly integrated and comprehensive educational experience. The "Mayo Clinic way" of graduate medical education ensures the finest teaching and the broadest patient care experience possible during a busy, hands-on fellowship.
