Loma Linda University Health Education Consortium Program
About This Program
No 'super fellows' (no transplant fellowship, no minimally invasive fellowship etc.). All cases go to our residents. - Very strong clinical training (our recent graduates finish within the top 5% case volume in the country, our last graduate did the most CABGs of anyone in the country). - We are developing an international presence with missions in Malawi.
