The Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Program at Creighton University School of Medicine – Phoenix is a vibrant and growing program with training sites at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, Valleywise Health Medical Center, and Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Our mission is to provide rigorous clinical and academic training while fostering a culture of curiosity, service, and personal growth. 

As the new Program Director, I’m honored to continue building on the strong foundation established by my predecessor, Dr. Robert Roberts. My passion lies in mentoring and educating the next generation of cardiologists, and I’m committed to creating a supportive, collaborative environment where fellows can thrive both professionally and personally.

Cardiology is one of the most rapidly evolving fields in medicine. We are dedicated to preparing our fellows not only to meet the demands of today’s practice but also to become thoughtful, adaptable leaders throughout their careers. Rooted in the Jesuit tradition of excellence, reflection, and care for the whole person, our program encourages fellows to approach their training—and ultimately their careers—with purpose and integrity. 

We are looking for individuals who are committed, compassionate, and ready to contribute to a dynamic learning community. This is a transformative stage in your professional journey, and we are excited to be part of it.
