Senior Clinical Fellowships and Advanced Training

Advanced Degrees and Certificates

Advanced degrees and certificates may be pursued through our affiliation with the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Some of our fellows have pursued Master of Public Health degrees at the Milken Institute School of Public Health and coursework as a part of their academic experience. Additionally, George Washington is home to the Master Teacher Leadership Development Program, a year-long certificate program for medical educators.

Cardiology fellows can also take two-week electives in the following courses:
