Cardiovascular Medicine
Training Program Section
The
overall
objective of our program is to educate physicians in the broad
field of cardiovascular disease which includes a major emphasis on
research as well as clinical training. 
We
invite you to review our Fellowship letter. The
University of Florida has a wealth of opportunities and an
internationally recognized staff to support the trainee in areas
of investigation. The University of Florida hospitals serve as a
major referral center for much of north and central Florida as
well as south Georgia. Our major teaching facilities include our
university hospital (Shands Hospital) and the Veterans Affairs
Medical Center (VAMC). All patients in these hospitals have a
full-time faculty member as their attending physician. We also
have a clinical experience for our second year fellows at Leesburg
Regional Medical Center in Leesburg, Florida with Dr. David Lew.
Clinical/Research Fellowship appointments are for three years.
