One of our priorities is investing in the education of the next generation of vascular and cardiac specialists. This endeavor ensures that we keep the hospital's mission alive and continue to provide quality medical care in the region. To facilitate this goal, we have several fellowship programs. The dedication, expertise, and compassion of our medical team is evident in everything that we do, and our leaders work tirelessly with the graduate students to pass on such values and to support fellows in the inspiring challenge of becoming a physician. These programs are a collaborative effort between Baylor Jack and Jane Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital and the Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas. We promote diversity, quality, and a balance between classroom excellence and real-world experience.

We currently have three fellowship programs and are expanding the offerings.

• The Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship program accepts two exceptional fellows annually to study all aspects of cardiology for three years. The Division of Cardiology is part of the department of internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas; clinical rotations at Baylor Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital include interventional cardiology, cardiac electrophysiology, cardiac rehabilitation, lipidology, noninvasive cardiology, nuclear cardiology, and vascular medicine.
• The Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellowship is a comprehensive 12-month training program that covers diagnostic and procedural skills, outpatient management, and clinical research.
• The Vascular and Interventional Radiology Fellowship provides comprehensive training in all aspects of vascular and non-vascular intervention, and diagnostic angiography. Our division performs more than 3,000 interventional procedures and 2,600 diagnostic angiograms each year. Fellows will gain experience in performing such procedures as transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation, vascular stent placement, stent grafts, transluminal angioplasty, atherectomy, thrombolysis, embolization, chemoembolization, biliary drainage, biliary stent placement, stone extraction, abscess drainage, biopsies, gastrojejunostomy catheter placement, and a variety of urological interventional procedures. Research opportunities are available. We have five angiographic suites, including three advanced facilities, and interventional radiologists on our medical staff available to provide services on a full time basis.

We also offer a vascular surgery residency program that is fully accredited by the ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education). Two students are selected annually to focus on general vascular surgery for one year.
