Fellowship in Cardio-critical Care - AHBF

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.
