About Cardiology Jobs
A cardiology physician is trained to discover, treat and prevent problems and diseases of the cardiovascular system-the heart, arteries, and veins. Cardiology is considered a subspecialty of internal medicine (IM). Cardiologists have three years of training in internal medicine and three addition years that specialize in cardiology.
Cardiologists often perform tests that determine how well a person's heart is working. These procedures may include a treadmill test (exercise electrocardiogram), cardiac catheterization, or angioplasty. Cardiologists can further specialize in interventional cardiology or electrophysiology. (Source: American College of Cardiology)

In addition, CCMC thrives on the leading edge of continued quality pediatric care through its role as the teaching hospital for the University Of Connecticut School Of Medicine. Members of the pediatric cardiology division provide all of the teaching for medical students, pediatric residents and adult cardiology fellows.
