Our Division has a strong mission to train clinically expert academic cardiologists, trained and inspired to become future leaders in the world of Cardiology and our society at large. We emphasize five core values of our mission:

Outstanding Clinical Expertise: We are committed to training fellows who will become outstanding cardiologists with a deep fund of knowledge and superior decision-making skills. From our cardiac care unit to consultation services and extending to the ambulatory setting, our fellows manage a wide range of cardiac pathologies. This foundational knowledge grows through hands-on procedural training and exposure to advanced cardiac sub-specialties. Our faculty is clinically expert and dedicated to teaching our fellows. Clinical training is complemented by an outstanding didactic program with dynamic speakers, from within our institution to across the world, and are provided daily throughout the year.

Academic Capability and Achievement: As a leading academic Cardiology Department, we foster excellence in research and academic pursuits to position our fellows for future full-time academic careers. Each fellow in our program is required to do research and develop a mentored relationship with one or more of our full-time faculty. The academic expertise within our Division assures that our cardiology fellows have a wide selection of research opportunities available. Year after year, our fellows are productive and successful, supported by the key components of strong faculty mentorship and Institutional support of the Mount Sinai Health System.

Leadership: We seek to recruit fellows who have a deep desire to become future leaders in the world of Medicine. To support this drive, we train our fellows in leadership skills and provide them with structured opportunities to practice and express clinical, academic, and/or administrative leadership in the second and third years of fellowship training.

Character and Compassion: There are three virtues that we hold dear: strong “people skills”, being a team player, and a giving attitude. We want fellows who personify these characteristics and can serve as role models of integrity, professionalism, and compassion for our residents and students. Our fellows balance poise and grace with grit and perseverance. We train our fellows to appreciate the patient as a whole, learning from both an academic and emotional standpoint from each patient interaction.

Camaraderie: People function best in a positive, nurturing environment, inspired by positive role models. Since the advent of our fellowship years ago, we have focused on our fellows becoming lifelong friends with each other. We see alumni thriving both here in New York City and across the globe following graduation from our training program, which is now in entering its 15th year overall and it’s 7th year as a part of the Mount Sinai Health System.
