Fogarty Institute for Innovation Accepting Applications for Advanced Endovascular Training Fellowship

Following the program's successful inaugural year, the Fogarty Institute for Innovation, a nonprofit organization that teaches physicians and engineers the skills and methodology necessary to translate their ideas into new patient therapies, has announced that it is accepting applications for its Advanced Endovascular Training Fellowship.

Slated to begin on July 8, 2013, the one-year experiential training program is designed to provide fellows with broad exposure to all aspects of endovascular patient care, with an emphasis on interventional training. Fellows also will have the opportunity to engage with the Fogarty Institute's early-stage medical device start-up companies and assist in the process of developing technologies to improve patient care.

Between one and three fellowships will be awarded. In addition to providing a base salary of $75,000 and benefits of $15,000 to support the fellows' education and training, the Fogarty Institute will match each fellow with clinical advisors from different clinical disciplines, as well as an innovation and entrepreneurship advisor from the Fogarty Institute. During the fellowship, each fellow will be encouraged to conduct research in their area of interest and author publications based on their findings. The Fogarty Institute and its affiliated Taft Center for Clinical Research are located on the premises of El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, California.

Criteria for the fellowship include board-certified or -eligible training in interventional cardiology, interventional radiology, vascular surgery, or cardiovascular surgery. A California Physicians License will be required for program participants.
