Educational Conferences
The interventional fellowship encompasses comprehensive educational conferences spanning the realm of interventional coronary and peripheral cardiology, structural interventions, as well as invasive and noninvasive cardiovascular imaging. The conferences provide structured educational exposure to case reviews, guideline-based decision-making, board preparation, and multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation and management of patients with complex cardiovascular conditions.
| Frequency | Conference | Description |
| Cardiac Catheterization Conference including Heart Team Discussion | Core weekly interventional conference held every Tuesday. Multidisciplinary case review covering complex coronary anatomy, interventional strategy, and outcomes utilizing a heart team approach. Fellows present cases and collaborate with interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery, and imaging faculty on complex revascularization decisions. |
|
| TAVR & Structural Heart Conference |
Multidisciplinary review of structural heart cases including CT and echocardiographic imaging, patient selection for TAVR and MitraClip, and case planning. |
|
| STEMI Conference |
Dedicated monthly review of STEMI cases covering door-to-balloon metrics, angiographic review, outcomes analysis, and system-level quality improvement. |
|
| Invasive Vascular Conference |
Monthly vascular case review covering peripheral artery disease, complex peripheral vascular interventions, carotid interventions, DVT/PE management, and noninvasive imaging among others. |
|
| Non-Invasive Vascular Conference |
Monthly review of noninvasive PAD testing and interpretation, including extracranial cerebrovascular evaluation with carotid duplex ultrasound, intracranial cerebrovascular assessment with transcranial Doppler studies, peripheral arterial duplex ultrasound imaging of the upper and lower extremities, peripheral arterial physiologic testing including PVRs, segmental pressures, and exercise testing; and venous duplex ultrasound for DVT detection and venous insufficiency studies. |
|
| Interventional Cardiology Journal Club |
Dedicated monthly interventional journal review in which the interventional fellows presents important publications within interventional cardiology including integration of current knowledge as well as ACC/AHA/SCAI guidelines. |
|
| Interventional Cardiology Board Review |
Monthly board review session run by the interventional fellows, covering the ABIM interventional cardiology examination curriculum. |
|
| Interventional Cardiology Research Conference |
Research conference discussing ongoing research projects, study design and methodology with structured feedback from faculty mentors. The conference supports manuscript development, abstract preparation, and IRB protocol planning, reinforcing the program's commitment to producing academically engaged interventional cardiologists. |
