The Program

Students attend four 75-minute evening live online sessions on a weekday evening. Shortly after the last session, students spend a morning on their sponsoring site's campus to meet their mentors in person and to give context to their learning. The format of the on-campus day varies by hosting institution.

Since its inception, the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute has been a proud supporter of I Look Like a Cardiologist. Our physician mentors are all UPMC attending physicians, fellows, or residents and their experience in becoming a cardiologist has informed our program. We are grateful for the ways that UPMC has supported I Look Like a Cardiologist through providing resources, time, publicity, and physician mentors.
