Fellows treat arrhythmia patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings to observe, diagnose, manage, and judge the effectiveness of treatments for these patients. Fellows are given the opportunity to assume continuing and increasing responsibility for both acutely and chronically ill patients to learn the natural history of a wide variety of cardiac arrhythmias and how to treat them.
Fellows will achieve experience in outpatient management of arrhythmias through a variety of outpatient clinics. These will include rotation among the EP faculty members’ clinics, with educational exposure to implantable device management (pacemaker, ICD, ILR, and central sleep apnea devices), and participation in multidisciplinary clinics, including postoperative arrhythmia clinics, hybrid AF management clinic (both of which utilize a team approach with cardiovascular surgery), and left atrial appendage closure clinic. This will afford the fellow in training the opportunity to observe and manage patients longitudinally and to gain experience with device follow-up and management.
