Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Temple, Texas
Our faculty-to-fellow ratio provides extensive one-on-one teaching relationships to our Cardiovascular Disease Fellows.
The Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Baylor College of Medicine (Temple) Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and is a standard 3-year program.
We accept 6 general fellows per academic year.
Our goal is to train outstanding general cardiologists who are prepared for careers in private practice, academic practice or for additional subspecialty training. Our fellows are typically level 2 trained for independent practice in echocardiography, invasive cardiology and nuclear imaging. Some of our fellows have done additional elective time in order to obtain vascular imaging or CT imaging certification.
We provide an excellent balance of service and education in order to accomplish this. We have an extensive didactic program that covers core topics, nuclear imaging, invasive cardiology, electrophysiology, congenital heart disease and echocardiography. Clinical experiences with supervised autonomy in outpatient clinic, CVICU, inpatient consult service, advanced heart failure service, cardio obstetrics, Cath lab, and Echo lab that provide the foundation for patient care and education. Our fellows typically take the echo boards after the second year of fellowship and we have a >90% pass rate since 2017. Since 2021 many of our graduates have taken the RPVI certification, nuclear boards, and CT boards with a 100% pass rate.
We are able to accomplish this in an atmosphere that is collegial, supportive and provides excellent work-life balance. Our team is committed to excellence in patient care and medical education. Baylor Scott and White Medical Center has achieved the top-ranking teaching hospital with cardiovascular training program by Fortune/Premier (2025).
