Northwestern University offers state-of-the-art facilities in the heart of Downtown Chicago.

Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine’s Interventional Cardiology training program is a 1 year ACGME accredited program within the division of cardiology beginning July 1 and ending June 30 of each year. Twelve months are devoted entirely for inpatient and outpatient clinical experiences. There are a total of 2 ACGME approved positions in our program.

People in the Department:

First-year fellows care for outpatients during three half-days in the outpatient clinic. Second-year and third-year fellows' outpatient clinic responsibility depends on goals of the trainee, and will be arranged with the Training Program Director and the Division Chief. Most fellows are in clinic two half-days in their second year and one half-day in their third. One half-day during each of the first two years occurs at the VA under the direct supervision of an attending rheumatologist.

In any given month, the first-year fellow assigned to the inpatient consult service is responsible for organizing the activities of the service each weekday. During the first and second years of the fellowship, the trainee is on call an average of every third weekend, carried out under the direct supervision of an attending rheumatologist. Third-year fellows have no required inpatient duties, in order to provide sufficient protected time for research.
 

We are excited that you are considering undertaking your Rheumatology Fellowship training at Northwestern.
