The Fellowship in Cardio-Critical Care is a 12-month hospital-based, interventional program designed to train physicians in the comprehensive management of acute and life-threatening cardiac conditions. Developed in collaboration with Apollo, this fellowship integrates cardiology, intensive care, and emergency medicine, offering hands-on experience in cardiac monitoring, mechanical ventilation, and hemodynamic stabilization.
The curriculum includes post-cardiac surgery care, acute coronary syndromes, and advanced heart failure management, with immersive exposure to multidisciplinary teamwork alongside cardiothoracic surgeons and intensivists. Fellows develop clinical judgment and procedural expertise to manage complex cardiac emergencies and emerge as skilled specialists in high-acuity cardiovascular critical care.
Eligibility: MBBS, MD/MS/DNB
Next Batch
Expertise in Cardiac Critical Care: Attain clinical mastery in managing patients with acute and life-threatening cardiac conditions through immersive, hospital-based ICU training.
Proficiency in Advanced Monitoring: Develop hands-on skills in cardiac monitoring, mechanical ventilation, and hemodynamic stabilization under expert supervision.
Comprehensive Case Management: Gain confidence in handling post-surgical recovery, acute coronary syndromes, and complex cardiac emergencies.
Leadership in Cardiac ICU Teams: Build the readiness to lead multidisciplinary cardiac critical care units and contribute to improved patient outcomes.
This fellowship offers immersive training in the care of critically ill cardiac patients. The curriculum includes acute coronary syndromes, arrhythmias, cardiogenic shock, and cardiac arrest management. Participants gain experience in managing invasive monitoring devices like PA catheters, IABPs, and ECMO systems. Clinical rotations expose fellows to cardiac ICUs and post-surgical care units. Simulation-based training strengthens emergency readiness for resuscitation and crisis situations.
Learners collaborate closely with cardiac anesthetists, nurses, and perfusionists. Academic discussions emphasize guideline-based interventions, hemodynamic optimization, and evidence synthesis. The program also explores mechanical circulatory support and advanced heart failure management. Ethical and communication aspects of cardiac critical care are integrated throughout the fellowship.
Research modules allow participation in outcome-based studies and quality improvement projects. By completion, participants are proficient in managing acute cardiac crises and post-operative recovery. They are prepared for leadership in cardiovascular ICUs and academic teaching roles. The fellowship instills precision, teamwork, and continuous learning in every participant.
