Our Program

Welcome to the Interventional Cardiology Fellowship Program at Cleveland Clinic.

The Section of Interventional Cardiology is a world leader in interventional cardiology. From pushing clinical boundaries with the latest techniques to advancing science with cutting-edge research, we are proud to set the standard for interventional cardiology care. 

At the core of our success is our Interventional Cardiology Fellowship. Our fellowship is among the strongest and most well-rounded training programs in the world and provides exposure to extremely high volumes of all types of interventional cases. Our fellowship is one of a few in the nation that offers training in advanced coronary, peripheral, and structural interventions in 2 years. Our case complexity and variety are second-to-none. Our fellows have exceptional hands-on experience and leave prepared to handle any situation that may arise in the catheterization laboratory.

We pride ourselves on having an exceptional culture of fellows and staff. Fellows are treated as junior faculty and are considered equal partners in cases. We provide fellows with autonomy, respect, and strive to create an environment of high-standards both clinically and academically.

It is this unique mix of a supportive and inclusive fellowship culture, high case volume, and complexity of cases that allows our fellows to achieve tremendous technical expertise and enter practice as experts in all aspects interventional procedures.

We appreciate your interest in our program.
