Cardiology Research
The Clinical Track program provides fellows with opportunities to engage in broad topics in cardiovascular research at Mount Sinai’s Zena and Michael A. Weiner Cardiovascular Institute, directed by Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD. Our fellows actively participate in clinical and translational research, presenting at local and national conferences and writing many journal articles and publications.
