Track Selection
As part of the application, candidates must indicate their interest in one of the following training tracks:
- Traditional Track
- Clinical General Cardiology Track
- Investigator Track
Applicants may apply to only one track. This selection helps us tailor the review and interview process to align with your interests and career goals. While the track selection is considered during the review process, all applicants are evaluated holistically and undergo the same core interview experience.
Please note that track selection is non-binding—fellows will have the flexibility to refine their interests and career direction during training, with the support of faculty mentors and program leadership.
