Hiroko Fernandez, MD, FACC, FHRS

Hello, my name is Dr Hiroko Fernandez, and I am an associate professor of medicine in the University of Florida Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, specializing in clinical cardiac electrophysiology. After receiving my medical degree from the University of Maryland, I remained there to complete a residency in internal medicine. I then went on to complete a cardiovascular fellowship at the University of Buffalo before returning to the University of Maryland for a fellowship in cardiac electrophysiology. I am board certified in internal medicine, cardiology and clinical cardiac electrophysiology. I am originally from Yokohama, Japan, and worked as a journalist in medical news, which inspired me to become a physician myself.
