Clinical EP Training

 

Clinical Fellowship

The clinical EP fellowship is two years which can be started following two or three years of general cardiology fellowship training. Learn more about the University of Vermont Clinical Electrophysiology Fellowship or apply to the fellowship program.

Research Track Fellowship

We have developed an Electrophysiology Research track for clinical fellows interested in an academic career in EP. This is a five year program that follows an internal medicine residency. Fellows start with 20 months in the research laboratory. During this time there are no clinical distractions. Fellows are encouraged to spend some time during this period studying EP related areas at the University (e.g. engineering, math, computer science). Next is an abbreviated clinical cardiology fellowship in which only the minimal ACGME required rotations are taken. These rotations take 18 months and lead to board eligibility in general cardiology. Finally the clinical EP fellowship follows: 22 months of clinical EP training (in- and out-patient arrhythmia service, and an intense exposure to complex ablation and device procedures).

Rotations in EP

We offer a rotation in EP for residents, fellows or medical students interested in getting an exposure to EP beyond that normally available during their general cardiology rotations. This rotation can be customized based upon the specific interests of the student. Typically these months provide an overview of clinical service, cases, research and EP readings.

Research Training

Training is available at the masters, PhD or post-doctoral levels. This training is offered in concert with the graduate college at the University of Vermont (typically the school of Engineering). Learn more about research training.
