Goals and Objectives
The Cardiology fellowship at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center is designed to ensure that the fellow will develop proficiency managing their own patients with supervision of the attending staff.
The specialty education of physicians to practice independently is experiential, and necessarily occurs within the context of the health care delivery system. Developing the skills, knowledge, and attitudes leading to proficiency in all the domains of clinical competency requires the resident physician to assume personal responsibility for the care of individual patients. Cardiovascular disease fellowships provide advanced education to allow a fellow to acquire competency in the subspecialty with sufficient expertise to act as an independent consultant.
In keeping with the educational objectives outlined by the ACGME, the NBIMC Cardiology Fellowship is committed to teaching and assessing the six areas of competency. These six domains in cardiology fellows should be competent are: Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Practice Based Learning, System Based Practice, Interpersonal and Communication Skills and Professionalism.
- To provide training in the diagnosis and management of patients with cardiovascular conditions as outlined in the ACC core curriculum
- To provide the essential educational environment for the professional growth of the fellows
- To support clinical education with regular didactics, journal clubs, clinical conferences, cardiac catheterization conferences, hemodynamics conferences, TAVR, structural heart, and adult congenital heart disease meetings and imaging conferences.
- To provide essential mentorship for clinical research including protocol writing, IRB approval, data collection, data analysis, presentation to clinical conferences and manuscript writing.
