<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, my name is Lori McVay, and I am the Program Director for the Centra Heart and Vascular Institute PA Fellowship Program located in Lynchburg, VA. We currently offer a cardiology PA Fellowship program which is in its fifth year. We
will be hosting a winter information session on 1/26/23at 6pm for interested individuals and I wanted to reach out to you to share information about our program and the upcoming information session in hopes that you would be willing to forward this to interested
students. I am happy to answer any questions you may have and appreciate your willingness to share information about our program with your students.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Overview<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Centra Heart and Vascular Institute is part of the Centra Health network, a non-profit healthcare system based in Lynchburg, VA. The program started in 2017 and our first fellow graduated in 2018. Since this time, we have grown to
a class size of two. Many of our graduates remain with the practice and are now members of the fellowship team.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Clinical Experience <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Fellowship is nine months in duration. We offer both didactic instruction and hands on clinical training. Our fellows spend time in the inpatient and outpatient setting under the direction of our faculty which includes physicians,
NPs, and PAs. While our focus is general cardiology our fellows rotate through the following subspecialty areas to include electrophysiology, heart failure, valve, and structural cardiology, vascular medicine, the vein center, interventional cardiology, cardiac
imaging, congenital cardiology, and cardiothoracic surgery. Fellows also complete a community hospital rotation and will have the opportunity to complete an elective rotation within the Centra Heart and Vascular Institute.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Didactic Instruction<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Each rotation has dedicated didactics to include assigned reading, lectures, and case presentations. Fellows also participate in cath conference, morbidity and mortality conference, research and scholarship as well as receive dedicated
EKG instruction, documentation education, mentoring and professional development. During the fellowship each fellow will also complete a practice improvement project.<o:p></o:p></p>
