Coronary Interventional Fellowship Programme
2026/07/28
Coronary artery disease remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. As interventional cardiology continues to evolve rapidly, there is a growing need for skilled operators who are proficient in contemporary coronary intervention techniques and technologies.
The Coronary Interventional Fellowship Programme at the National University Heart Centre, Singapore (NUHCS) is designed to equip cardiologists with the knowledge, technical expertise, and clinical judgement required to become competent interventional cardiologists specialising in coronary interventions.
Training is based in the Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory at NUH, where fellows are actively involved in the assessment, planning, and performance of coronary intervention procedures under the supervision of experienced interventional cardiologists.
The fellowship provides comprehensive training in all aspects of coronary intervention, including:
- Diagnostic coronary angiography and cardiac catheterisation
- Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
- Intravascular imaging, including Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
- Coronary physiology assessment, including Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) and microvascular evaluation
- Calcium modification technologies and techniques
- Complex coronary interventions, including bifurcation lesions, chronic total occlusions, in-stent restenosis, and primary PCI for acute myocardial infarction
- Vascular access, haemodynamic assessment, and management of procedural complications
Cardiologist aiming to sub specialize into coronary intervention. To be accredited as a general cardiologist with aim to sub specialize into coronary intervention.
Key Learning Opportunities
- Clinical exposure: High case volume with exposure to all aspects of coronary intervention.
Physicians have full exposure to the latest contemporary technology for coronary intervention. Moreover, they will have a unique opportunity to be involved in AICT-PCR, which is a conference that NUHCS is part of the organizing committee.
Physicians will receive a certificate of completion after their training.
Typical length of fellowship: 12 months
