Interventional Cardiology

Trainees who will have completed a cardiovascular disease fellowship may apply for specialized training in our Interventional Cardiology Program. The Interventional Cardiology Fellowship at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is accredited by the ACGME and consists of 12 months of clinical training in interventional cardiology.

The UCLA Interventional Cardiology Fellowship Training Program is designed to provide a broad exposure to interventional cardiovascular procedures as well as interventional cardiovascular research. The goal of the program is to provide training in various interventional topics including complex coronary interventions/PCI, imaging, physiology, peripheral and structural techniques while emphasizing the indications, pathophysiology, therapeutics, and management of a wide variety of patients following procedures both acutely and in the long term. Our program serves a large community of patients in the Los Angeles and surrounding areas. We provide 24-hour STEMI care and tertiary care to a large volume of patients with complex CHD, shock, cardiac transplant, advanced congenital heart disease, and complex structural heart disease.  In addition, our training hinges on the humanistic, moral, and ethical aspects of interventional cardiology.  Active participation in research will provide the trainee with further experience in critical thinking, evaluating the clinical literature, and prepare the trainee for a career in academic interventional cardiology.
