Emory’s Cardio-Oncology Fellowship is a one-year fellowship designed for cardiology fellows who plan to specialize in the cardiac care of cancer patients. The mission of the fellowship is to train leaders in cardio-oncology. Graduates will be experts in the screening, prevention, and treatment of cardiotoxicity of cancer therapies, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy (photon and proton-based therapies), targeted therapy, immunotherapy, bone marrow transplant, CAR-T, BiTE, and phase 1 therapies as well as receive training in the assessment and treatment of cardiac amyloidosis and cardiac tumors. The fellowship is based at Emory’s Cardio-Oncology Center of Excellence and leverages a strong collaboration between Emory’s Heart & Vascular Center and Emory’s NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center Winship Cancer Institute. The one-year program is flexible to meet the trainee’s individual needs and career path. The fellowship will consist of immersive clinical experiences primarily in outpatient care and inpatient consults. In addition, fellows are given time and resources to complete a cardio-oncology thesis project during their one-year fellowship. Thesis mentors are available throughout Emory in a broad range of categories, including case reports, clinical reviews, quality improvement projects, health services research, clinical trials, or translational research. The flexible design of the Emory Cardio-Oncology fellowship also permits fellows, if desired, to obtain advanced imaging training in cardiac MRI or cardiac computed tomography.
