About us

Welcome to the cardiology department at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania. The one-month cardiology rotation provides the medical student with a broad clinical experience that occurs both in bedside patient care in the cardiac care unit and on the general medical floors. Medical students will be placed on patient care teams and interact with attending cardiologists, cardiology fellows and residents to observe and learn core skills involved in evaluating a patient presenting with cardiac disease.

This team interaction provides the basis for medical student learning to include the importance of pertinent history and physical examination findings, ordering laboratory studies and diagnostic testing, and interpreting and applying the results of cardiac diagnostic testing. There is an emphasis on learning to read EKGs under the guidance of a staff cardiologist and fellow. 

Requests for cardiology rotations should be submitted to Ms. Tracey Lepley at the email addresse shown below. Thank you for your interest in our program
