Research

To complete the requirements of training, each fellow must perform an independent clinical research project under the supervision of a UF faculty mentor. Successful completion of this project is facilitated by investigation tract didactic lectures, monthly Fellow Research Conference, project review during semi-annual program director meetings and protected research time (5-6 month block in the second year). Fellows are free to select a topic of interest and have the division of cardiology's resources, clinical sites and non-cardiology faculty at UF available to them.

Additionally, fellows may carry out more than one independent project or serve as site co-investigator on one or more of the many ongoing clinical trials within the division.

Fellows are required to complete two additional academic activities selected from: second clinical project (counts as two), case report, manuscript preparation with faculty, data analysis with faculty, review article or clinical trial involvement.
