Children’s Heart Center at Children’s Hospital of
New Jersey is located at the Newark Beth Israel Medical Center
campus and is the only comprehensive pediatric cardiac surgical
service in the state with two pediatric cardiac surgeons, full-time
at this institution. It also has the only pediatric ECMO and heart
transplant program in the state. Overall, the size of the program
facilitates a personal teaching and learning environment that is
conducive to develop a well-rounded foundation in pediatric cardiology.
A nurturing environment of high quality patient care delivery is
coupled with an objective approach to the practice of pediatric
cardiology. The faculty in the division work very closely with
pediatric cardiothoracic surgery, pediatric critical care, neonatology,
general pediatrics, pediatric emergency medicine, adult cardiology
and cardiac transplant & heart
failure.
 This
institution has a long history of training physicians in pediatrics,
med-peds, internal medicine, adult cardiology, Ob-Gyn, and other
surgical specialties. Induction to the fellowship program will
start with an orientation program common to new employees of the
hospital. Multiple system-based aspects of the institution will
be learnt at these sessions. Fellows who do not have a valid BLS,
ACLS and PALS certificates will be required to undergo appropriate
training to renew certification. A tentative description
of the program for core-curriculum is
available in the following page.
