Cardiovascular Medicine Fellowship

CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE FELLOWSHIP
Program Director Welcome
Welcome to the Cardiovascular Medicine Fellowship at Oklahoma State University Medical
Center (OSUMC).
Our goal is to train physicians to be highly competent and compassionate clinical
cardiologists. Our three year program is accredited by the ACGME.
Our curriculum is designed to meet the ACGME requirements and ABIM requirements for
certification in cardiovascular medicine. Clinical rotations emphasize autonomy and
clinical decision making through direct interaction with our faculty. This method
enables our fellows to gain independence in clinical judgment and procedural skills.
Our program allows for fellows to achieve the American College of Cardiology/American
Heart Association level II training in coronary angiography, transthoracic and transesophageal
echocardiography, nuclear cardiology and computed tomography coronary angiography.
Our program includes two primary training sites, OSUMC and St. Francis Hospital. Both
sites provide fellows with a wealth of hands-on clinical training and the clinical
experience is enriched because the patient populations complement each other in socioeconomic
and cultural makeup. In addition, advanced heart failure rotations will be completed
at INTEGRIS Baptist in OKC.
Clinical training is augmented by a robust schedule of conferences including echocardiography,
nuclear cardiology, cath conference, guideline conference, board review and grand
rounds. Fellows are encouraged to initiate and develop plans for research projects
and each fellow is required to complete a high quality research paper suitable for
publication during the fellowship.
The OSUMC Cardiovascular Medicine Fellowship accepts two highly qualified physicians
per year and we continually strive to foster a family atmosphere where fellows can
develop into excellent clinicians. Selection is based on COMLEX and USMLE board scores,
the quality of training in Internal Medicine, evaluations of competence by the internal
medicine program director and other references, and the personal qualities of the
candidate as evaluated during the interview process.
Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have regarding the fellowship or
the application process.
Sincerely,
Daniel E. Wildes, Jr., D.O., FACOI, FACC
