Pediatric Advanced Cardiac Imaging (PACI)

We are very excited to announce that, working with pediatric cardiac imaging fellowship program directors around the country, the Society of Pediatric Echocardiography (SOPE) is sponsoring a match for 4th year fellowships in Pediatric Advanced Cardiac Imaging (PACI) for positions to begin in the academic year 2025-2026. These

fellowships include those that offer advanced training in echocardiography, fetal cardiology, cardiac MRI, and/or cardiac CT.

 

The goals of the match system are to:

​

1. Create a common, standardized process and timeline by which categorical fellows can apply to PACI fellowships

2. Increase transparency in the application process 

3. Make access to applicants more equitable among the fellowship programs and make access to fellowship programs more equitable among the applicants.

 

The match will be administered through SF Match (SF Match - Residency and Fellowship Matching Services ) and will utilize a common application. To be eligible for the PACI match, applicants should have completed or be scheduled to complete a categorical fellowship in pediatric cardiology in the US or a comparable international program prior to the start of the advanced cardiac imaging fellowship. Individual training programs may also have additional requirements. The PACI fellowship application period will start in July 2024 and end in November 2024, with rank lists due in December 2024. The match day will be in December 2024 and positions will begin

July 2025.
