LA General/USC

Cutting-edge Cardiovascular Medicine where service is at the heart of everything we do.
Dr. Pradeep Nadeswaran
Class of 2026
“I’ve had the privilege of completing all of my medical training at USC and LA County, and I truly couldn’t imagine a better place to train in cardiology. What sets our fellowship apart is the incredible clinical volume and diversity—we see it all. The opportunity to learn at both a high-acuity county hospital and a top-tier academic center means we’re exposed to the full spectrum of cardiovascular disease and a wide range of procedures from day one. Our faculty are not only leaders in every cardiology subspecialty, but also deeply committed to teaching and mentorship. There’s a real culture of education here, with structured didactics, hands-on learning, and support at every step. And of course, living in Los Angeles is the icing on the cake—it's an amazing place to train and live, with endless things to do outside the hospital and a lifestyle that makes work-life balance feel truly attainable.”

"USC is an excellent training institution that equips fellows with the tools needed to succeed in cardiology. The tremendous breadth of pathology and broad exposure to distinct patient populations across two sites allows for comprehensive clinical training. The faculty are also very committed to helping fellows reach their personal career goals within cardiology. The supportive leadership, phenomenal co-fellows, and diverse clinical experiences make for an incredible learning environment."

“I chose USC because I wanted to work at a large academic center with an underserved patient population. The diverse pathology, camaraderie among co-fellows, and knowledgeable and supportive attendings make it an amazing place to train. And you definitely can’t beat Los Angeles weather!”
