Cardiology Fellowship Program

Sudhir Mungee, MD, FACC, FACP, FSCAI, Cardiology Fellowship Program Director

OSF HealthCare Cardiovascular Institute began the region’s only general cardiology fellowship program in 2013. The three-year program has a total of nine general cardiology fellows and one research fellow.

Since the program launched, it has been widely successful, graduating its first class in June 2016. The fellows of the graduating class have gone on to achieve advanced fellowships at some of the country’s premier centers of excellence in interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, cardiac imaging and heart failure.

该项目的三个奖学金职位每年都会收到超过500份申请。获得奖学金项目是对OSF心血管研究所实力的外部验证，因为该研究所需要证明优越的临床结果，高患者数量和在教学和研究方面的既定专业知识。

我们的愿景是扩大我们的普通心脏病奖学金，包括在介入性心脏病学、心脏成像、心力衰竭和电生理学等领域的高级培训。

Bringing research across the country

Cardiovascular research is a core component to the fellowship program’s curriculum. Among the team of fellows, they have presented at every national cardiology convention every year since the program’s inception. Within the last three years, the program has published over 25 publications in respected journals.

Impacting patient care

The impact of the cardiology fellowship program also affects patient care at OSF Cardiovascular Institute. Our faculty teach our fellows evidence-based care, which is the most effective, up-to-date cardiovascular care available. Because of that, our patients also receive that same standard of care.

Cardiovascular Grand Rounds

Grand Rounds are educational presentations on a variety of cardiovascular topics presented by OSF HealthCare Cardiovascular Institute providers. The presentations are open to providers, whether they are OSF HealthCare providers or not. Typically, Grand Rounds occur on a quarterly basis at different venues throughout Illinois.
