About The Position

A Cardiology Fellow participates in an organized three year post graduate educational program that trains the physician in cardiovascular medicine.

For the training to be approved, the hospital where the residency is served must be approved by the Board of Directors of Palmetto General Hospital, the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) and/or the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
