Program Description

The program in pediatric cardiology at Children's Hospital Los Angeles is 3 years in duration.  The purpose of the training program is to provide residents with a firm foundation for understanding normal and abnormal cardiovascular conditions, including a strong emphasis on the pathophysiologic basis of cardiovascular disease.  The goal is to prepare residents for careers as academic pediatric cardiology consultants to provide optimal care for pediatric patients (from the fetus to the young adult) with cardiovascular disease. 

The program provides a balanced and structured experience in the care of patients on inpatient units, the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit, in ambulatory cardiology clinic as well as the cardiac catheterization laboratory, noninvasive cardiology, i.e. echocardiography, electrocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging, and electrophysiology.  Residents are afforded progressive responsibility commensurate with their level of training and experience.
