Wahlen Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Salt Lake City. Our educational programs include three ACGME Electrophysiology Fellows, in addition to eighteen ACGME Cardiovascular Disease Fellows. The University of Utah Hospital features three dedicated electrophysiology laboratories. These labs are equipped with contemporary mapping systems and a variety of ablation tools, supported by a dedicated electrophysiology technical team. A hybrid OR/lab is also available for lead extractions. The University of Utah serves as a regional referral center for Utah and surrounding states, offering specialized expertise in complex atrial and ventricular ablations, advanced cardiac implantable technologies, and chronic device and lead extractions. The ideal candidate should have proficiency in catheter ablation for atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, as well as experience with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), pacemakers-including traditional, leadless, and physiologic systems-and cardiac device and lead extractions.
