This leader will partner closely with Fellowship Program Directors, Associate Program Directors, Educational Staff, and Physician Leadership to provide strategic, operational, and financial oversight, advancing excellence across the educational programs.
Reporting to the Director, Healthcare and Clinical, with functional oversight from the Fellowship Program Directors, this leadership role will drive strategic planning, financial stewardship, operational excellence, trainee support, and organizational effectiveness across varying fellowships, including supervising the two educational staff members.
About our programs.

These seven programs have enrollment of 25-30 trainees annually.
The University of Utah Cardiovascular Medicine Fellowship Program serves as a regional referral center for patients across Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico, providing fellows exposure to a broad and complex cardiovascular patient population. The flagship Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship accepts six fellows annually into a 36-month program. The six subspecialty fellowships provide advanced training in highly specialized areas of cardiovascular medicine. These programs accept between one and three fellows annually.
Collectively, these programs emphasize comprehensive clinical training, research productivity, mentorship, and leadership development, preparing fellows for careers in academic medicine, clinical practice, and cardiovascular innovation.
