Interventional Cardiology Fellow

• A two-year fellowship in accordance with NVVC requirements, starting April 1, 2027.
• Extensive practical experience within a center where approximately 2,500 PCIs are performed annually.
• Gaining experience with intracoronary imaging, physiology, and calcium modification techniques.
• In the second year, deepening knowledge in complex interventions, including chronic total occlusions and procedures involving mechanical circulatory support.
• A combination of interventional cardiology with general cardiology duties.
• Active involvement in scientific research and the training of residents and support staff.

During the fellowship, you will be trained as an interventional cardiologist, in accordance with NVVC requirements.

Within the Heart Center, approximately 2,500 PCIs are performed annually. This allows you to build extensive experience with various interventions and techniques. You will work with, among other things, intracoronary imaging and physiology and learn to apply various techniques for calcium modification.

In the second year of the fellowship, you will have the opportunity to further deepen your expertise in more complex procedures. You may be involved in, among other things, the treatment of chronic total occlusions and procedures where mechanical circulatory support is utilized.

In addition to your duties within interventional cardiology, you will also remain active within general cardiology practice, including outpatient duties and clinical supervision.

Furthermore, you will actively participate in scientific projects in the field of interventional cardiology and contribute to the training of residents and support staff.

You will work within the Heart Center of the St. Antonius Hospital, a tertiary referral center for complex cardiovascular care.

The Cardiology department consists of 33 cardiologists, including six interventional cardiologists and two fellows, five electrophysiologists with two fellows and one chef de clinique, and seventeen general cardiologists, including three fellows and three chefs de clinique.

Within interventional cardiology, there is much attention to innovation, the application of new techniques, and scientific research. As a tertiary referral center, we treat patients with complex conditions from across the country.

In doing so, you will work intensively with, among others, cardiothoracic surgery, cardio-anesthesia, and intensive care. Additionally, an A-level Cardiology training program is available within St. Antonius.

• A two-year fellowship to become an interventional cardiologist in accordance with the NVVC practice document.
• An appointment consisting of two consecutive annual contracts.
• Salary and employment conditions in accordance with the AMS regulation.
• A training environment with extensive exposure to both regular and complex interventional cardiology procedures.
• Opportunities to contribute to scientific research, innovation, and education.

A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) is mandatory for all positions within the St. Antonius Hospital.

For this fellowship, we are looking for a cardiologist who wishes to further specialize in interventional cardiology.

Even if you will be completing your cardiology training soon, we invite you to apply.

Some experience within interventional cardiology is an advantage, for example in the form of an advanced internship in invasive cardiology.

Additionally, we expect you to contribute actively to scientific research, education, and the further development of interventional cardiology care.

At St. Antonius, you work on (highly) complex care with your heart in the right place. We are a top-clinical teaching hospital where patient care, education, and research go hand in hand. Thanks to our size, we make a real impact, but remain agile and personal.

Our clinical priorities are heart & vascular, lungs, and cancer. Additionally, we are one of the leaders in the Netherlands in the field of value-based care. This means that we do not only look at what is medically possible, but especially at what truly makes a difference for the individual patient. By structurally measuring the most important outcomes and learning together, also with the other Santeon hospitals, we make care a little bit better every day. With us, every employee, including you, makes a difference for the patient.

Do you want to further develop yourself within interventional cardiology and work in an environment where complex patient care, innovation, and science are closely interconnected? Then we would like to meet you.
