Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship (ACGME) - Faculty

Section
Menu

We have an experienced, dynamic, and diverse faculty all of whom take great pride in the fellowship. They are all involved in day-to-day teaching of the fellows and are always willing to educate and impart their knowledge and experience. They have a variety of backgrounds, interests, and training: you can guarantee that for every condition there will be a faculty member with a special interest or unique experience in that field.

 

A word from our Program Director, Dr. Jonathan Zaroff:
“Our mission is to provide a comprehensive, stimulating educational and research experience to prepare our Cardiology Fellows as highly competent clinical cardiologists and clinical researchers. 

Our environment, Kaiser San Francisco Medical Center, is one of the largest cardiovascular centers in California, serving the cardiac needs of 4.2 million members in Northern California.  Our sister hospital, Kaiser Santa Clara Medical Center, provides comprehensive training in Advanced Heart Failure and Electrophysiology.  The Kaiser Division of Research Investigators produce leading cardiovascular epidemiological science and participate in the research mentoring of our fellows.

Our culture prioritizes activities for the fellows which are educational.  We have a uniquely collegial group of physicians and we welcome our fellows with warmth and enthusiasm.  We are family friendly and value diversity in all forms.

Our medicine is fully integrated at every level (physicians, insurance, hospital, pharmacy) and our fellows train in a health care system which represents the aspirational model for health care in the United States.”
