On behalf of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cardio-Oncology Fellowship Program, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you all.

At MD Anderson we take great pride in our commitment to provide fellows with the skills, scientific knowledge and mentoring needed to become world leaders in the field of Cardio-Oncology. Our fellowship is approved by the Texas Medical Board.

Our mission is to provide the fellows with comprehensive training in cardio-oncology and mentorship tailored to their individual career aspirations.

Our program provides exposure to a broad spectrum of cardiovascular diseases related to either cancer therapy-related toxicity or as co-existent comorbidities in patients with cancer in a high-volume setting allowing ample opportunities for learning. Further exposure to multimodality cardiac imaging, cardiac catheterization, and electrophysiological interventions specific to patients with cancer and cardiovascular disease is a strength of the program. Faculty specialize in various disease conditions including the care of patients with cancer and heart failure, cardiac amyloidosis, pulmonary hypertension, carcinoid heart disease, vascular disease and immune therapy related cardiovascular toxicities, and further diversify the training experience. In addition, collaboration with other oncology specialties provides a robust multi-disciplinary training environment.

MD Anderson Cancer Center is based in the Texas Medical Center, Houston, which is the largest medical complex in the world. A diverse patient population comprising of local, national, and international patients provides a unique demographic backdrop for our training program.

Teaching is central to our mission. Didactic lectures and grand rounds by local and national, as well as international, leaders in the field along with interactive case discussion span topics from care of cardiovascular diseases to implementation of clinical practice and quality improvement as well as research. The department provides the fellow with funding to extend training beyond our campus and attend and present at national and international conferences.

In addition to a state-of-the-art clinical training program, we also have a very productive research program, led by clinical researchers and basic scientists, which aims to provide individuals with tailored opportunities to engage in research during training.

Our fellows are the backbone and heart and soul of our program. We aim to recruit motivated fellows from diverse backgrounds. Our recent graduates have pursued academic careers and are leaders of Cardio-Oncology at their institutions.

Wellness is a basic tenet of our program and our institution. We support our fellows to reach their academic goals while balancing their personal and family life. Mental and physical well-being is of paramount importance, and our institution has multiple resources to support the health and well-being of the fellows.

We look forward to meeting you and discussing your interest in our Cardio-Oncology Fellowship program. Please feel free to reach out with questions.
