The Cardiovascular Fellowship Training Program at UC Davis is a three-year program. Clinical training is primarily at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, a 600-bed tertiary hospital, with additional experience obtained at the Sacramento VA Hospital and Clinic. Research laboratories are located at the Medical Center and on the University's main campus in Davis (12 miles away).
