General Goals: During the rotation the fellow will be responsible for the care of the patients in the CCU. This rotation, which spans 2 months in the first year, serves as an intensive introduction to the management of the most acute cardiac problems. The fellow is also responsible for initial evaluation and triage of patients presenting to the Emergency Department with suspected acute cardiac disorders.

The cardiology training program broadly is divided into three areas: Inpatient and consultation Outpatient practice Invasive and non-invasive procedural and diagnostic testing The methods of assessing such procedural competence (cardiac catheterization, invasive procedures, cardioversions, echo/TEE, nuclear, etc.) are done through several mechanisms. Fellows will be supervised in all phases of invasive procedures in the cardiac cath lab, electrophysiology lab, and non-invasive lab for TEE procedures and cardioversions. Assessment is done through direct, daily supervision and instruction and

Teaching rounds will occur daily on the clinical services and procedural labs (echo, nuclear, cath). Rounds on the clinical services typically will take place in the morning. The procedural areas will also round daily to review all the diagnostic testing (cath, echo, nuclear). These services may round more than once a day depending on the clinical volume.

The Core Curriculum Conference Series will be taught by full-time clinical cardiology faculty. Periodically we will have external guest speakers on selected topics and utilize internal SIU faculty from other divisions regarding topics such as Hypertension, Radiology topics, Research design/biostatistics, ethics, and others. Conferences will include: Clinical Conference Cardiology Grand Rounds EP/ECG Conference Echo/Imaging Conference Cath Lab Conference Journal Club Patient Safety Morbidity and Mortality Other topics of interest. The core curriculum conferences will include an acute care

As you know, the MEDPREP program has been proudly serving students since 1972. MEDPREP has helped over 1,000 students attain their dream of medical or dental school matriculation. We continue to welcome over 30 students each summer for the two-year program. Although the program has changed over the years to keep up with changing times (many of you will remember taking the MCAT on paper), at the core, our philosophy remains the same: "Opportunity, Challenge, and Support." Give students the opportunity to prove themselves, challenge all professional school candidates to become their best selves
