The prospective fellow will be supported to join and settle into the department and the new environment. A full induction and orientation will be provided. I will meet the fellow to establish their objective of the fellowship period and to plan their time to maximise their experience and gain from this fellowship. They will have access to all areas. They will attend the weekly joint cardiology and cardiothoracic multi-disciplinary meeting and the monthly department audit and mortality meeting. They will have the opportunity to present their work at the department audit meeting. The fellow will have the opportunity to rotate through all different departments and subspecialties and their timetable will be according to their objectives and areas of interests. I will conduct a mid-period meeting with the fellow to ensure there are gaining what they have set to do and modify as necessary. The fellow will get a certificate for their fellowship period.
