fellowship Programs

The educational goals of this program are to train fellows in a specialized cardiovascular disease area requiring technical, educational and research skills involved in Interventional cardiology. The knowledge base for interventional cardiology has become increasingly well-defined as a result of unparalleled programs in basic and clinical research in atherosclerosis, coronary disease, cardiomyopathy and valvular heart disease. Our educational goals for training in interventional cardiology are aligned with and guided by the recommendations of the ACC/SCAI/ AHA task force on optimal adult interventional cardiology training programs as follows:

1. To understand the effectiveness and limitations of coronary interventional procedures in order to select patients and procedure types appropriately.
2. To achieve the appropriate cognitive knowledge and technical skills needed to perform interventional cardiac procedures at the level of quality attainable through the present state of the art.
3. To foster an attitude of life-long learning and critical thinking skills needed to gain from experience and incorporate new developments.
4. To understand and commit to quality assessment and improvement in procedure performance.

The Cardiac Anesthesia Fellowship is typically a one-year program designed to train anesthesiologists in all aspects of the cardiac surgical patient including pre-operative assessment /optimization, intra-operative management, and immediate post-operative care. Our goal is to train outstanding clinical anesthesiologists who are comfortable treating patients with a wide variety of complex cardiac problems including valvular heart diseases, critical coronary artery disease, cyanotic/acyanotic congenital heart disesease, major vascular & thoracic cases. Upon completion of the program, the Fellow will be familiar with the use of invasive monitoring and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for diagnosis and to guide intra-operative / post-operative therapy in these patients.

The goals of the fellowship are to provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary training to individuals who are committed to a career in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and Burn Care.

The fellowship training will provide a broad exposure to the full range of clinical problems encountered in a tertiary Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery practice.

Upon completion of a one-year fellowship, the surgeon will possess the following characteristics:

• (a) Expertise in the multi-disciplinary management of patients requiring Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery.
• (b) Knowledge and/or skills in microvascular free flap reconstruction
• (c) Broad-based knowledge and comprehension of principles of Burns, Trauma, Congenital Anomalies, Hand Surgery, Skin grafting and Flap surgery, Cancer Reconstruction, Aesthetic Surgery and rehabilitation.
• (d) Expertise in salvage surgical procedures
• (e) Judgment and ability to perform complex defect reconstructions with planning and execution and an understanding of the technical limitations of the procedures
• (f) Comprehensive knowledge of Skin anatomy and physiology.
• (g) Ability to practice effectively in an academic, tertiary care setting and to participate in medical education and translational research

Significant technological advances in Radiological Interventions and Vascular Imaging have taken place during the last decade, making it difficult to have thorough training in all modalities, as well as covering different subspecialties during the Post-Graduate Radiology course. All round training in Interventional and Vascular Imaging requires facilities that can be provided only in a tertiary care hospital. The Department of Radiology at GMCH is well placed with state-of- art equipment and experienced staff covering all modalities and specialties

The program is primarily designed to train an individual in the recent advancements of Radiation Oncology who desires to gain further in-depth knowledge & high-level experience in stereotactic and functional surgery. This program integrates patient- centered clinical oncology with the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge technology & research.

The goals of the fellowship are to provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary training to individuals who are committed to a career in head and neck oncology. The fellowship training will provide abroad exposure to the full range of clinical problems encountered in a tertiary head and neck oncology practice.
