VCACC Fully Funded Imaging Fellowships
Developing long-term relationships between cardiovascular professionals in the United States and the United Kingdom
About the VCACC Fully Funded Imaging Fellowships
The Virginia Chapter of the American College of Cardiology (VCACC) and the British Cardiovascular Society (BCS) are a part of the American College of Cardiology’s International Exchange program. The BCS-VCACC relationship was formed through a desire of both organisations to develop long-term relationships between cardiovascular professionals in the United States and the United Kingdom. The partnership brings members from both nations together to learn about advances in CV science and exchange ideas on quality programming and health systems.
The program will support four current resident doctors or early career cardiologists from the UK (out of training for less than seven years) who will visit, learn, and experience the American healthcare landscape, an imaging rotation (MRI, CT, and Echo), and the CV community.
The program is fully funded for the successful applicants.

Selection Criteria & How to Apply
Please note that the application deadline for the 2025 VCACC fellowships has now passed.
We encourage applications from senior cardiology resident doctors or early career cardiologists sub-specialising in cardiac imaging (out of training for less than seven years), who are Ordinary, Associate BJCA or Affiliated BCS members.
As part of their application, applicants were asked to describe:
- their current skills, experience, and competencies relevant to the programme
- their specific learning needs and objectives
- how they plan to consolidate and implement the knowledge gained for their patients
Applications were judged by senior leadership of the BCS, and four successful candidates were selected.
This opportunity is exclusively for BCS members. If you’re not a BCS member already, you’ll need to become one before applying.
