Program Leadership Welcome

Thank you for your interest in AtlantiCare Regional Medical Centers Cardiovascular Disease (CV) Fellowship program.

Our Program received initial ACGME accreditation for a total of nine (9) Fellows in February 2024 and we are excited to be entering the match cycle for the 2025-2026 academic year. Targeting our inaugural class of 3 fellows for July 2025.

AtlantiCares CV Fellowship will be based at our Mainland Campus which houses our state of the art cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology laboratories, as well as our cardiothoracic surgery program, structural heart disease and advanced heart failure programs and cardiothoracic intensive care unit. (Staffed with 24/7 intensivists) The fellows will also spend time in our City Campus providing consult services. Fellows will have the opportunity to build their own ambulatory referral patient panels at our AtlantiCare Galloway office site. In addition, fellows will have the opportunity to act as teachers/mentors/advisors to our established Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Psychiatry and Pharmacy residents.

AtlantiCares faculty is staffed with experienced board-certified cardiologists who will be working closely with our fellows during their various rotation experiences to help mentor them through each of their competencies and milestone stages so that they may develop into capable, compassionate, and confident cardiologist.  Rotations are designed to meet all ACGME required elements, including level 2 COCATS echocardiography and nuclear cardiology.

The three years are designed to give “graded autonomy” to the fellows. The first year of the fellowship is designed to provide the fellow with the necessary foundational skills to progress successfully into the following two years each of which allows for more elective opportunities and a more flexible curriculum geared toward each fellow’s interests. This would include time and opportunity to participate in local and national research projects or design their own projects.

AtlantiCare’s mission is to make a difference in health and healing, one person at a time, through caring and trusting relationships. Our vision is to build healthy communities together through safety, teamwork, integrity, respect, service and inclusion. We hope that you are as excited as we are to potentially be a part of this great journey.
