Message from the Program Directors
We appreciate your interest in the Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship at the University of Michigan Medical School.
Our mission is to develop a diverse group of leaders in academic cardiovascular medicine with skills in clinical care, education, and research. We aim to provide a rigorous and compassionate training program that supports fellows in achieving their fullest potential.
In our fellowship program, the first two years involve a core clinical curriculum. The third year supports opportunities to tailor the educational plan to the unique career interests of each fellow. Our fellows also work with a diverse group of faculty members with national reputations across multiple subspecialties, engaging in both clinical care and research. Our training program encompasses a broad span of disciplines through rotations at both the University of Michigan and the Ann Arbor VA Health System.
The University of Michigan opened the first University Hospital in 1850 and has a longstanding tradition of excellence in training leaders in cardiovascular disease. We continue this tradition by providing comprehensive patient-centered care using cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment modalities in state-of-the-art facilities. Additionally, Ann Arbor is a wonderful place to live, with many diverse cultural opportunities and outdoor spaces.
In this program, our fellows are our greatest asset. We are fortunate to recruit outstanding individuals, and aim to actively empower them throughout the educational process. Our team invites you to explore how Michigan can help you reach your potential!
Sincerely,
Melinda Davis, MD, Program Director
Megan Joseph, MD, Associate Program Director
