Welcome to the Interventional Cardiology Fellowship at Loma Linda University Health Education Consortium! 

The interventional cardiology fellowship program is a 1-year, ACGME accredited training program, meeting and exceeding all ACGME core competencies. Fellows are provided with hands-on training in coronary interventions – including acute MI, intracoronary imaging (IVUS) guidance, hemodynamic assessment (FFR, CFR, and IMR), rotational and orbital atherectomy, MCS-assisted high risk PCI, and cardiogenic shock interventions. Additional exposure is provided in structural heart interventions and endovascular interventions. Training is conducted primarily at the Loma Linda University Medical Center, with rotations through the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans’ Hospital.

What our Leadership is Saying

Vinoy S. Prasad, MD

Program Director

The Interventional Cardiology fellowship at Loma Linda University provides superb training for fellows under world-class faculty in a supportive environment. The clinical exposure is comprehensive, from “bread-and-butter” acute coronary syndromes, to complex calcified coronary lesions requiring calcium modification or hemodynamic support. Above all, we train our fellows to become good doctors and to provide compassionate patient care, in keeping with the mission of Loma Linda University.”
