The Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) Fellowship Program is available to graduates of either adult or pediatric cardiology training programs. The ACHD training is a comprehensive program that lasts 24 months and prepares fellows to become academic leaders in the field of congenital heart disease.

The program requires commitment to a research project. We will work with prospective applicants as part of the application process to ensure resources are available at Johns Hopkins for a successful completion of the program.
