Research
Our division includes subspecialties such as fetal cardiology, electrophysiology, cardiac CT and MRI imaging, as well as an adult congenital cardiology program. We are growing a robust and collaborative interventional program providing transcatheter valve replacements, transcatheter PDA stenting procedures in neonates and complex adult congenital heart interventions. Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common of all birth defects. Through improvements in care, 90% of pediatric CHD patients are expected to reach adulthood, though CHD requires lifelong preventive care. Our clinician-scientists and research faculty conduct a wide array of clinical research aimed at improving the lives of those born with CHD or who have developed a heart problem during childhood.
Education
We provide a variety of inpatient and outpatient student clinical rotations. Clinical faculty serve as student attendings and fourth-year medical student rotations are popular. Our division provides regular training to adult cardiology fellows in our adult CHD clinics and pediatric dental residents at children’s clinics. Faculty have received many teaching awards and we recently launched a CME podcast series educating practitioners on managing patient care for individuals living with complex CHD. In addition, we provide students of all levels with opportunities to pursue clinical research with our existing datasets, assisting with ongoing cardiology projects and collaborating on ongoing abstracts and manuscripts.
