Pediatric Interventional Cardiology
UT Southwestern
Dallas, Texas, United States
I am a second-year pediatric cardiology fellow at UT Southwestern/Children's Health Dallas. I plan to pursue an advanced year in interventional congenital cardiology after completing a three-year categorical fellowship. I aspire to become part of the next generation of trained interventionists who will reduce the radiation burden on patients. It is our mission that a radiation-free heart catheterization will become the standard of care for patients in the future. I envision myself working at a large academic institution, where I will devote my time equally to research and clinical work.
