FELLOWSHIP ATTENTION! Our program will be accepting one new fellow for the training period beginning July 1, 2009. Our applicant pool is closed at this time. If you have any questions or comments regarding the Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Program at the University of Florida please contact our program coordinator Emily Owens-Pickle at debbie.floyd@peds.ufl.edu. The combined programs in pediatric cardiology the University of Florida have developed from a long-standing collaboration between the Gainesville and Jacksonville campuses. This program in Gainesville was the first of its kind in the south and has been a major center for teaching and training over the years. More recently, there have been many changes, not only in the practice of pediatric cardiology, but in the training techniques and the research areas that are involved in an academic pediatric cardiology division. The objective of the program is to train candidates for careers in academic pediatric cardiology. A minimum training period of three years is required for the American Academy of Pediatrics Sub-Board of Pediatric Cardiology. Additional training is available for those undertaking a supported research program. The basic plan: • a first-year, mainly clinically oriented with a survey of possible research areas; • a second year divided between clinical work with more responsibility, and the beginning of a chosen research project; • and a third year with the major emphasis on research but with a continuing clinical responsibility. Candidates must be medical graduates and have finished their PL-3 year. |
