Curriculum

Our one year ACGME accredited program has two positions for training in ablation of complex arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, arrhythmia associated congenital heart disease, ischemic/scar related ventricular tachycardia, and lead extractions.

Procedures are taught in conjunction with Core Cardiology Training Symposium (COCATS) requirements. At the completion of the fellowship, the CCEP fellow will have acquired the knowledge base, judgment and technical skills to be an independent operator in electrophysiology.

Procedural training is provided in modern invasive EP laboratories with biplane fluoroscopy, three dimensional mapping system, and intracardiac ultrasound. CCEP fellows obtain invasive laboratory experience at Shands Jacksonville Medical Center and the Mayo Clinic Jacksonville. Fellows also receive noninvasive training on device follow-up and management.

Our CCEP Fellowship provides an extensive core curriculum, which includes lectures on important topics in electrophysiology. CCEP fellows are expected to present several topics throughout the academic year. It is strongly recommended that the CCEP fellow participate in clinical research. Please see the research page for additional information regarding specific requirements. CCEP fellows are allocated time to attend local and national electrophysiology meetings and seminars.

CCEP fellows provide outpatient care during a weekly half day continuity clinic.
