Benderson Family Heart Center | Boston Adult Congenital Heart Disease and Pulmonary Hypertension Fellowship Program

The advanced fellowship program in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) and pulmonary hypertension is a two-year multi-institutional program at Boston Children’s Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Massachusetts General Hospital. The program accepts two fellows each year. This program places candidates on a career pathway that gives them a solid foundation and accomplishment for program building and leadership in the field of ACHD. The ACGME approved ACHD fellowship is designed as a two-year curriculum and meets the requirements set forth by the ABIM and ABMS to allow fellows to be Board-eligible for ACHD specialty certification. The goal of the fellowship is to train leaders in the field of adult congenital heart disease, with an emphasis on clinical excellence, innovative research, and education. The clinical program includes training in outpatient and inpatient care with collaboration of multidisciplinary programs including pulmonary vascular disease, advanced heart failure, aortic conditions and connective tissue disorders, electrophysiology, exercise physiology, cardiac imaging, interventional cardiology, quality initiatives and pregnancy, and cardiovascular disease. Fellows actively participate in dedicated conferences to discuss management issues in ACHD patients. All fellowship application materials must be submitted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) website.
