PEMBERTON TOWNSHIP Deborah Heart and Lung Center has partnered with a top medical school in Philadelphia.

The states only specialty heart, lung, and vascular center announced Thursday a new partnership with Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University for Deborahs Fellowship Programs.

The new partnership could expand more subspecialty training at Deborah, according to Dr. Vincent Pompili, chair of the department of cardiovascular medicine at Deborah.

"Partnership with Jefferson will enhance our resources and help deliver an exceptional educational experience and opportunity," said Pompili in a statement. "The Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University is well-renowned and respected for its progressive medical school education and research, offers a perfect complement to Deborahs specialty training."

Physicians who plan on specializing in general cardiology, electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, advanced heart failure, and vascular surgery apply each year for a coveted spot in Deborahs Fellowship Program, where they receive intensive specialty training.

Fellows at Deborah work side-by-side with physicians at the hospital, training in advanced cardiovascular techniques, and work on cutting-edge clinical trials.

"As a specialty educational training site, we need to partner with a medical college with accredited Internal Medicine core standards and established residency program. Thomas Jefferson University meets those requirements and also brings a connection and synergy to our program," noted Pompili.

"The legacy and commitment at Deborah to its training programs aligns well with Jeffersons mission to educate the physicians of the future with clinical and scientific knowledge, as well as the human skills of empathy and creativity," said David Paskin, MD, vice dean, graduate medical education and affiliates at Thomas Jefferson University.
