Fellowship in Electrophysiology

The Fellowship in Electrophysiology at the University of Illinois College of Medicine (UICOM), Chicago is a 2-year ACGME-accredited advanced cardiology training program that focuses on the diagnosis and management of cardiac arrhythmias through comprehensive clinical and procedural training. Fellows gain hands-on experience in advanced electrophysiology procedures such as pacemaker and ICD implantation, cardiac resynchronization therapy, catheter ablation, and lead extraction across multiple affiliated hospitals. The program also emphasizes strong academic development through conferences, case discussions, and research opportunities, enabling fellows to build expertise in electrophysiologic principles, clinical decision-making, and innovative treatment approaches, ultimately preparing them for careers in specialized clinical practice or academic cardiology.
