All PTO requests need to be submitted via Wufoo form to Jameka: Cardiology Fellow PTO/ Time Off Request Form (wufoo.com) 

Kindly also let a chief know when your PTO has been approved so it can be added to the calendar as well.

Journal club, M&M, Imaging conference, and cath conference will be distributed among all three years. For the most part, these conferences will be scheduled as follows:

-Morbidity & Mortality will be done by the previous month's junior-most consult fellow

-Cath conference will be done by the previous month's junior-most cath fellow

-Imaging conference will be done by the previous month's junior-most echo fellow

-Journal club will be done by the previous month's junior-most stress fellow

If there was no fellow on the previous month, then the conference will be assigned to a fellow by the chief fellows.

Wednesday conferences will be given by second- and third-year fellows.

Weekend days and off-service weekend days will be distributed as follows: 

-Call weekend days will be covered by the consult fellow. 

-Non-call weekend days (off-service weekend days) will be covered by all fellows during the months of July, August, and September. Following this, off-service weekend days will be covered by assigning first-year fellows first, followed by second-year fellows. Any remaining off-service weekends will be equally distributed among first-year fellows based on who has done the fewest off-service weekend days.

We have the potential to work with most, if not all, cardiologists. However, we typically work most with core faculty, then teaching faculty, then everybody else. When making decisions about which attendings' cases to attend, the decision should be made using that hierarchy: Core -> Teaching -> Everybody else.

Core faculty include:

Dr. Bahekar, Dr. Patel, Dr. Reddy, Dr. Ejeh, Dr. Jyothidasan, Dr. Bhandari

Teaching faculty include: 

Dr. Lokhande, Dr. Hodges

* indicates that, while you may see these names, these doctors are no longer working at the indicated practices. Consults can still go to those groups provided they follow the consult rules

There are certain groups that have only one doctor; because of this, some of the groups participate in a "mega group" on the weekends, meaning whoever is assigned to cover the mega group for that weekend covers consults and weekend call for ALL of these groups/providers.

Who participates in group call: 

• Fayetteville Heart Center

• Cumberland Cardiology

• Premier Cardiology

• Carolina Heart Physicians

• Ferncreek Cardiology

• Carolina Heart and Leg

Who does NOT participate in group call:

• Cape Fear Cardiology

• Valley Cardiology
