Our Partnership with The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University

The Miriam Hospital is a major teaching hospital of The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and serves as an on-site training facility for medical students, residents and fellows. There is an active cardiology fellowship-training program at The Miriam and Rhode Island hospitals. Cardiology fellows rotate through the CCU, cardiac catheterization and non-invasive laboratories, offer consultative and electrophysiologic services and work in conjunction with attending cardiologists who hold faculty appointments at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. More than half the current cardiologists in Rhode Island are graduates of this fellowship-training program and thus, it has an important role in training future cardiologists for the state and the region.
