About our programs.

These seven programs have enrollment of 25-30 trainees annually.

The University of Utah Cardiovascular Medicine Fellowship Program serves as a regional referral center for patients across Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico, providing fellows exposure to a broad and complex cardiovascular patient population. The flagship Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship accepts six fellows annually into a 36-month program. The six subspecialty fellowships provide advanced training in highly specialized areas of cardiovascular medicine. These programs accept between one and three fellows annually.

Collectively, these programs emphasize comprehensive clinical training, research productivity, mentorship, and leadership development, preparing fellows for careers in academic medicine, clinical practice, and cardiovascular innovation.
