Boston University


Ambassador: Dr. Kate Raiti-Palazzolo

I am a New York native, completing my undergraduate studies in Chemistry at SUNY Binghamton and Medical Degree at Jacobs School of Medicine in Buffalo, NY. I completed my Internal Medicine training at Boston University, staying an additional year as Chief Medical Resident. I then returned home to NYC to work two years as an Academic Hospitalist at Mount Sinai Hospital before being drawn back to Boston Medical Center for Cardiology Fellowship. My interests are in medical education, imaging and general cardiology. Outside of the hospital, I am passionate about long distance running (particularly along the Charles), enjoying the cooking of my husband (who is a chef) and traveling to Europe any chance we can get.

The CardioNerds Healy Honor Roll & Ambassadors Program

The CardioNerds Healy Honor Roll is the list of cardiovascular fellowship programs which support the CardioNerds mission to Democratize Cardiovascular Education. These programs foster the CardioNerds spirit by:

  • Nominating a CardioNerds Ambassador – see below
  • Contributing open-access content by way of CNCR cases: Learn more here. 

The CardioNerds Ambassadors are fellows nominated by CardioNerds fellowships to represent education at their program. They are an esteemed group of highly motivated individuals with a passion for education. The goal is to both:

  • Ensure representation on the platform from their programs
  • Foster their individual personal & professional development

The CardioNerds Healy Honor Roll is named after Dr. Bernadine Patricia Healy, a CardioNerd Hero who was the first female director of the National Institutes of Health and accomplished incredible achievements during her career.
