The Fellowship Training Program is organized in rotations that denote the stepps of the fellows from observer to second operator progressively. The CVRF is attempting to install a training program that helps to meet the needs of its fellows. Trainees can learn how to access optimal treatment approaches to various patients to observe performances of different procedures and to listen to audiovisual education lectures from opinion leaders in world renowned centers. They can also widen their eyes to the supportive modalities to help procedural decisions and strategies such as imaging measurement and data management through these programs.
