As the major academic medical center in Arizona, the University of Arizona incorporates research as an integral component of modern cardiovascular training. Depending on the fellow’s interest, multiple avenues of investigation can be pursued, ranging from clinical and population-based studies to bench research in NIH-funded laboratories. In addition to a minimum protected research time of three months provided to all fellows, we have developed individualized, funded research options for highly motivated fellows interested in academic careers.
