Advanced Cardiac Imaging Fellowship

University of Colorado offers an Advanced Cardiac Imaging Fellowship, a 1–2 year training program designed to develop deep expertise in multimodality cardiovascular imaging. Fellows receive comprehensive training in echocardiography, cardiac CT, cardiac MRI, and nuclear cardiology, with opportunities to achieve Level III COCATS competency in selected modalities.

Clinical Training
Fellows gain hands-on experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, including image acquisition, interpretation, and integration across multiple imaging techniques. Rotations occur in specialized imaging laboratories, with close collaboration alongside faculty experts in structural heart disease, electrophysiology, and interventional cardiology.

Career Preparation
Graduates emerge ready for leadership roles within advanced imaging programs and are eligible for national certification examinations, including the Certification Board of Nuclear Cardiology (CBNC) and the Certification Board of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (CBCCT).

Academic & Research Opportunities
Fellows participate in clinical research, quality improvement initiatives, and scholarly activities such as manuscript development and national conference presentations. Additional opportunities include involvement in ongoing clinical trials and exposure to cutting-edge imaging technologies, including PET/CT, parametric mapping, and 3D echocardiography.
