Year One at a Glance
The first year of AEM fellowship is designed to build a strong clinical foundation. Fellows rotate through core services including cardiac rehabilitation, sports cardiology, exercise physiology labs, and outpatient exercise medicine clinics.
Clinical Expectations
- Minimum 200 supervised CPET interpretations
- Exercise prescription for 50+ complex patients
- 12 weeks of cardiac rehab co-management
- Weekly fellow journal club presentations
- One research project with faculty mentor
The fellows who thrive are those who see every patient encounter as a chance to understand the physiology more deeply.
