Program Overview

University of Cincinnati College of Medicine Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellowship Program

The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, in conjunction with University of Cincinnati Medical Center and Cincinnati Veteran's Medical Center, offers a comprehensive two-year ACGME-accredited training program in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology (CCEP).

Program Overview

The CCEP fellowship program at the University of Cincinnati originated in 2010 as a one-year fellowship program. In 2014, the CCEP fellowship developed a comprehensive second year of training in electrophysiology, prior to ACGME and ABIM requirement in 2017.

Educational Goals

Fellows follow an education curriculum that is designed to promote a culture of evidence-based medicine, teach critical thinking and analysis, and train fellows to be educators for the community, patients, and other fellows. Additionally, the program organizes the structure of training and education through ample exposure to academic activities and evidence-based practices for building robust clinical and academic skills.
