Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University/Nemours Children's Health Wilmington Program
About This Program
The Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship program at the Nemours Cardiac Center provides a strong educational curriculum, extensive clinical experience and the analytical tools to produce a pediatric cardiologist who can function independently. The Nemours Cardiac Center is particularly well-suited for this training given the unique multi-disciplinary approach to patient care and research, where specialists from cardiology, critical care, cardiac anesthesia and congenital heart surgery work together.
