Fellows' Boot Camp
Our Program
Our annual Stanford Pediatric Cardiology Fellows’ Boot Camp has been cancelled and we are now planning for 2025.
Our course provides two and a half days of highly-rated, hands-on training to introduce prospective fellows to the technical aspects of pediatric cardiology. Areas of instruction include:
- Cardiac Anatomy: Gross Anatomy Dissection
- Virtual Reality Cardiac Anatomy Demonstration
- Electrophysiology: ICD/Pacemaker interrogation, temporary pacemaker programming, telemetry review
- Echocardiography: High-fidelity transthoracic ECHO simulator
- Pulmonary Hypertension: Management and titration of pulmonary vasodilators
- Heart Failure: Hands-on VAD training
- Cardiac Surgery: Primer on Cardiopulmonary Bypass
- Cardiac Intensive Care: Emergency scenarios, resusitation, team training
The combination of our hands-on workshops, didactic instruction, and group learning enviornment prepares future fellows for success. Please refer to the description and analysis of our boot camp program, published in Pediatric Cardiology.
Stanford Pediatric Cardiology Faculty & Prospective Fellows come together for a weekend of hands-on learning.
