  • Fellowship in Pediatric Cardiology


    Designed by: Skillversity
    Duration: 12 Months
    Mode: Hybrid (Online + Clinical Rotations)
    Eligibility: MBBS, MD (Pediatrics), DNB Pediatrics, or Equivalent

    Program Overview
    This one-year fellowship offers comprehensive knowledge and practical training in diagnosing and managing cardiovascular conditions in neonates, infants, children, and adolescents. The curriculum blends theoretical instruction with hands-on experience in pediatric cardiology OPDs, cath labs, ICUs, and advanced imaging centers, equipping learners with skills in both congenital and acquired cardiac conditions in children.
