Yashasvi Chugh, MD

2018-2019 Fellow Talk Blogger

Yashasvi is a second-year general cardiology fellow at Mount Sinai St Luke's and West Hospitals (New York, NY). He attended medical school at Kasturba Medical College, Manipal University (Mangalore, India), and trained in internal medicine at Jacobi Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Bronx, NY). Yashasvi has co-published more than 20 original papers in peer-reviewed journals. He is looking forward to blogging for Fellow Talk in order to help connect young fellows with leaders in the field of interventional cardiology and increase awareness about the field to trainees. Interventional cardiology appeals to Yashasvi as it “necessitates a delicate balance between fine motor coordination in the most stressful of situations and a highly cognizant thought process behind periprocedural planning.” When he’s not at the hospital, Yashasvi enjoys playing soccer, swimming, and SCUBA.
