  • Fellowship in Interventional Cardiology

    Designed by Skillversity

    Course Overview

    The Interventional Cardiology Certification Program is a 12-month specialized training course that combines in-depth theoretical instruction, hands-on procedural training, and clinical rotations. The course covers the spectrum of interventional procedures, including coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), structural heart interventions, and device therapies. This program is designed to equip participants with the expertise required to provide high-quality, evidence-based care in interventional cardiology.

    Eligibility Criteria

    MBBS and Above:

    • Candidates must hold an MBBS degree, with preference for those with postgraduate qualifications such as MD, DM, or equivalent.

    Target Audience:

    • Medical professionals specializing in interventional cardiology, catheter-based therapies, coronary interventions, and structural heart disease management.

    Course Duration

    12 Months (1 Year) – Comprehensive Training

    • Live patient cases, clinical rotations, simulation labs, and hands-on workshops.
