The ACHD fellowship is a two-year program and is open to applicants from three training pathways:
1) completion of internal medicine residency and adult cardiology fellowship
2) completion of pediatric residency and pediatric cardiology fellowship, or
3) completion of residency in combined internal medicine/pediatrics and then completion of fellowship in pediatric cardiology, adult cardiology, or combined pediatric and adult cardiology.
Fellows in the ACHD program learn the medical and surgical management of CHD, including technical and diagnostic expertise in invasive and noninvasive procedures. Fellows participate in the outpatient ACHD clinic, inpatient consultative services, imaging laboratories, and cardiac catheterization laboratories.
