The Columbus Ohio Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program (COACH) at The Heart Center Columbus Children’s Hospital and the Ohio State University is an academic based program with an established ACHD fellowship program since 2000. The fellowship program is a 5 year combined internal medicine and pediatric cardiology fellowship in ACHD that, since 2004, accepts 1 fellow position every other year. Graduates are board eligible in internal medicine and pediatric cardiology and will have participated for 5 yrs in a large ACHD clinic and trained in ACHD cardiac MRI/CT, interventional cardiac catheterization, electrophysiology, cardiac ICU, pregnancy and heart disease and exposure to cardiothoracic surgery and heart and heart/lung transplantation. Research is fostered and expected throughout the fellowship training.

The research program in ACHD is directed by Stephen Cook, MD (scook@chi.osu.edu) with opportunities in clinical and basic research through The Heart and Lung Research Institute at The Ohio State University and The Children’s Research Institute at Children’s Hospital. A large ACHD database provides opportunities to initiate clinical research and the program is part of a newly developed network of ACHD programs dedicated to multi-center trials in ACHD. Contact Dr Cook for more information.
