A Day In The Life of A Cardiology Fellow

General cardiology fellowships in the US are 3 additional years of training after first completing a 3 year internal medicine residency and 4 years of medical school. I describe how cardiology fellowships are structured, what a typical call shift is like, and a what a day to day schedule is like. Comment below if you want to learn more about specific aspects of cardiology fellowships!

So cool ! My plan is to become a cardiologist, and so glad that you made your dream come true

Great video Man! Always fascinating to learn about cardiology!!! I had a CT Angiogram 2 years ago to check for aneurysms, since I had one as a little kid from Kawasaki disease. So it is cool for me to learn about something that I’ve dealt with before!!

Hi Dr. Katz, you're incredibly busy so I'll get to the point. I'm an MS3 and I love Cards, but also like Anesthesia (a bit less so). I also would love to have kids and be an active father, and I'm afraid going into Cards won't allow me to see them as often as I could by going into something less demanding.

Could you offer any insight as to the lifestyle AFTER residency? residency sucks everywhere so no expectations there, but I don't want to go in for STEMIs or emergency echos at night 3 times a week and would love to be able to plan vacations with my family.

Thanks a bunch, and best of luck to you!

Hey! Thanks for making this video. Gonna start internal medicine residency this summer and just read your comment about interventional. In that same vein - and outside of being a fellow - do you feel like general cardiology or those doing advanced imaging can have a decent lifestyle?

Echo ( heart and leg ), stress test, EKG are all are good ( my heart doctor said to my husband because of my English is not good ) but CT scan showed me 55 % last year . Today I went to heart doctor clinic and dissicuss but he told me .I so worry , no need to worry about 55%.

I’m a Junior in college and I’m currently majoring in bioinformatics and pre-med. I really enjoy physics and math. Would you say these topics are apart of a cardiologist’s everyday life?

[sarahbeeharry]

Can you do a video on the CCU? Thanks!

[refayat]

Off Topic, you remind me of JD from Scrubs

[benjaminpinney]

Can you do cardiology / internal medicine without surgery stuff? I have shaky hands...

Hello, I am a current freshman in high school taking both college and high school classes, and in one of the college classes I was taking, a major assignment was to research universities and things like that, and I came across the Caribbean. I saw a lot of 5 years pre-med/MD programs right out of high school and they accept college credit. I want to become a cardiologist just like you and I am wondering, is going to the Caribbean for a 5-year pre-med/MD program good or bad for cardiology? Will it put me at a disadvantage? Also, does it matter where you go for medical school and residency for a cardiology fellowship?
