FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM OF

THE WORLD HEART FAILURE SOCIETY

The World Heart Failure Society Fellowship Award was established 2005. The objective is to offer relevant training opportunity to young general physicians with an interest in cardiology/heart failure in emerging countries. However, applications from doctors from developed regions having an interest in the vast spectrum of cardiac conditions leading to heart failure in the developing world are also encouraged. The specific aims are to provide training in transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography, interpretation of stress tests, perfusion scans, learn about the management of a Heart Failure Clinic. In certain centres training in devices specific for heart failure could be provided.    

The ultimate goal is improving the home institutions’ standard upon the Fellows’ return.

The Program offers two types of fellowships:

·       Full time awards (one year)

·       Short term awards (3-6 months)

The World Heart Failure Society gratefully acknowledges the kind support of the following Partner Institutions and Organizations for their generous support.
