The Interventional Cardiology Fellowship at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine is an intensive one-year advanced training program designed to produce highly skilled interventional cardiologists. The fellowship provides comprehensive hands-on exposure to coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary interventions, complex lesion management, intravascular imaging, hemodynamic assessment, and mechanical circulatory support devices. Fellows train in high-volume cardiac catheterization laboratories at OU Health, managing both elective and emergent cardiovascular cases. The program emphasizes patient safety, procedural competence, clinical decision-making, and adherence to evidence-based guidelines. Structured didactics, case conferences, morbidity and mortality reviews, and research involvement are integral components of training.
