INVESTING IN THE FUTURE Research Fellowships, Education and Training

Inova Heart and Vascular Institute has partnered with George Mason University to create a post-doctorate two-year research fellowship to provide opportunities for early-stage clinicians who wish to explore and ideally pursue a career in clinical research This highly selective and rigorous program is led by Inova physicians, Drs. Palak Shah and Abdulla Damluji and Drs. Jiayang Sun, Carolyn Drews-Botsch and Bernard Dunn from George Mason University.

Dr. Jason Goldberg is the first Post-Doctoral Research Fellow under the new Inova Heart and Vascular Institute - George Mason University partnership. He is a pediatric heart failure and transplant cardiologist. His interests center around genomic biomarkers of heart transplant rejection and he will work with Drs. Deneen and Heath and Mitchell Cohen to launch pediatric heart failure and transplantation programs in the fall of 2023

Our 2022 Cherry Blossom Cardiovascular Symposium was a great success with close to 200 onsite attendees, an additional 70+ participating virtually and 30 exhibits. Talks by our esteemed faculty included a look to the future by the preeminent cardiologist Dr. Spencer B. King, III to updates on the latest research and innovation in heart failure, shock, prevention, interventional procedures and electrophysiology with thoughtprovoking cases and panel discussions.

It was our privilege to honor Dr. Dean Pollock with the Inova Heart and Vascular Institute Pioneer Award for his efforts over the years to bring the highest quality cardiovascular care and state-of-the-art interventional procedures to Loudoun County.
