Case Western Reserve University/University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center Program
About This Program
Our program exposes trainees to all aspects of medical care for patients with Stage D HF, including evaluation and management of cardiac transplantation, cardiogenic shock, short term and durable mechanical support. The trainee has primary access to all activities and resources in order to focus on learning rather than relying on routine low educational-value clinical tasks. We also offer additional formal leadership training at the CWRU Weatherhead School of Management.
