The educational mission of the Pediatric Cardiology Training Program is to provide subspecialty residents with broad clinical experience, factual knowledge, technical skills, and clinical judgment to effectively manage patients from fetal life to adulthood for congenital and acquired heart disease to enhance their skills and to promote their involvement in research.  This is achieved by a progressive delegation of increasing responsibility in the clinical area, non-invasive laboratories and invasive laboratories; delegation of teaching roles; and exposure and participation in research. The trainees will receive didactic instruction, clinical exposure to patients with mild and serious heart disease in both surgical and medical settings and assignments for didactic teaching and research projects. 

This experience is enhanced by incorporation of support services, social, ethical and preventive aspects.
