Fellowships

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in our cardiovascular fellowship programs. 

The cardiovascular disease fellowship is three years in length, and currently has 18 fellows enrolled.  The fellowship program is directed by Dr. Ganesh Raveendran. 

Fellows in the cardiovascular disease program complete clinical rotations at the University of Minnesota Medical Center-Fairview, the Veterans' Administration Medical Center, Methodist Hospital and Regions Hospital. Fellows also have extensive opportunities to participate in basic and clinical research.

The cardiovascular research fellowship is directed by Dr. Robert Bache and supported by an NIH Multidisciplinary Training in Cardiovascular Research training grant.  This provides the opportunity for up to six investigators to spend 1-3 years in a cardiovascular research laboratory.  Fellows enrolled in the general cardiovascular fellowship may participate in this research grant as part of their training.  

The clinical cardiac electrophysiology fellowship, directed by Dr. Scott Sakaguchi, is one year in length and currently has three fellows. 

The interventional cardiology fellowship is a one-year program (with an optional second research year) directed by Dr. Robert Wilson.  Currently, two fellows are enrolled.
