Loma Linda University Unveils Cardiovascular Fellowship In Murrieta

MURRIETA, CA — Loma Linda University Medical Center in Murrieta unveiled a new three-year cardiovascular fellowship on Thursday.

The program will offer rigorous training in general cardiology and advanced training in clinical cardiology subspecialties and cardiovascular research.

The fellowship kicks off Aug. 1 with two fellows, who will be approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education by the end of the three-year term.

The university hopes its new curriculum will provide broad clinical exposure in both acute and chronic cardiovascular care, which occurs in inpatient and outpatient settings. Educators will also train fellows on a variety of cardiac procedures.

“We’re training cardiologists here in Southwest Riverside County who receive training but also perform research that will help contribute to improved understanding of disease processes, and ultimately, toward advancements in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular disease,” said Manila Zaman, MD, program director and chief of cardiology at Loma Linda University Medical Center – Murrieta.
