Fellows Research
Drs. Lyubarova, Poli, Sidhu, and Schulman-Marcus with Dr. Purga and Dr. Patel during ACC 2017.
Albany Medical Center’s Faculty in the Division of Cardiology are proud to participate in research and scholarly activity in the cardiovascular clinical sciences alongside our fellows, residents and students to learn and advance the field for improved treatments in cardiovascular care for our patients. Fellows research is critical to understanding diseases and improving therapies in cardiovascular medicine and fellows are mentored throughout their three years with our faculty to design and undertake a fellows scholarly project based on their interests. Clinical research studies led by fellows with close faculty mentorship strive to uncover answers needed and focus on the care of the patient and to seek to improve quality of life as well as the patient experience.
