About the Program
The Electrophysiology Program at the Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles
Medical Center (LAMC) is the tertiary referral center for all twelve
Southern California Kaiser Permanente Medical Centers, which serve
a population of more than three million people.
The Electrophysiology program provides residents with excellent
training in all aspects of clinical Electrophysiology. The
program is unique due to the volume and mix of challenging cases,
as well as the direct supervision and educational input for each
case. Fellows get exposure to different aspects of Electrophysiology,
including biventricular device implants, and cutting-edge Electrophysiology
procedures such as, intracardiac echocardiography, transseptal
cathterization, three-dimensional magnetic mapping, and the use
of Carto-merge.
Five full-time Electrophysiology faculty members are present in the
department. The faculty sponsors a daily conference to review all
diagnostic cases and discuss all potential interventions and alternatives
appropriate to the case. In addition, each week has several
educational conferences on its schedule, which permits discussions
of current topics in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology.
