Director’s Letter

It is my privilege to be a part of the Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship. Our team is honored to train and work alongside the next generation of cardiologists.

The Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship program is built on a strong foundation and history of training physicians who have enhanced our communities. We believe medical education is at the forefront of healthcare, and this program further strengthens our unwavering commitment to excellent, high-quality care. It combines the two things we are most passionate about - patient care and exceptional clinical cardiology training.

I am looking forward to the growth of this fellowship program and the many successes of our fellows.

Sincerely,

Mohan Rao, MD, FACC
