Cardiology Ablation Fellowship Training Program

Cardiology Ablation Fellowship Training Program

Duration: 5 Working Days (Intensive Clinical Fellowship)Mentor: Prof Batur Gönenç Kanar, MD,

Format: Observership + Hands-on Exposure (Cath Lab–Based)

Target Audience: Cardiologists & Cardiology Fellows with interest in Electrophysiology

Tuition Fee: 3,500 € + VAT

Program Overview

This 5-day Cardiology Ablation Fellowship Training Program is designed to provide in-depth exposure to cardiac electrophysiology and catheter ablation procedures, combining structured theoretical sessions with real-life catheter laboratory observership.

Under the mentorship of Prof. Dr. Batur Kanar, participants will gain practical insights into patient selection, procedural planning, mapping systems, ablation strategies, and post-procedural management, with a strong focus on clinical decision-making.
