Cardiology Fellowship OVERVIEW Simon’s Heart was founded in memory of a seemingly health three-month old boy. The organization raises awareness about the warning signs and conditions that lead to sudden cardiac arrest and death in children, and believes that pediatric heart screenings should become a standard of care. To that end, Simon’s Heart has provided free heart screenings to over 13,000 students, and developed a proprietary technology, HeartBytes, that streamlines the screening process and gathers data for research. FELLOWSHIP GOALS • To manage the quality and consistency of the heart screening program • To produce cardiologists who follow their curiosity and contribute to the science behind sudden cardiac arrest in the young • To develop a sustainable program and a valuable resource for the cardiology medical community by creating experts in population based cardiac screenings. FELLOW RESPONSIBLIITIES The Fellowship is a one year term. The Fellow will work closely with the Chief Medical Officer and Executive Director. The primary responsibility is the medical oversight at four local heart screenings. The heart screenings occur on Saturdays throughout the school year. The estimated time commitment per week is two hours. The estimated time commitment during one of the (four) heart screening weeks is twelve hours. Responsibilities include: • Become an expert on the Seattle Criteria and other relevant practices relating to youth heart screenings. • Review charts of students prior to the screening using the proprietary technology, HeartBytes. • Manage the cardiology area at the heart screenings. • Conduct post mortem calls with the cardiologists following each screening to establish lessons learned and best practices. • Advocate for evidenced-based medicine in the youth heart screening space. • Author review article for publication.
