Joel Reginelli has seventeen years of experience as an interventional cardiologist in Cincinnati, Ohio. He studied Zoology at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and then attended medical school at The Ohio State University. While at Ohio State, he served as president of his medical school class all four years, was elected into the academic honorary, Alpha Omega Alpha, and received the American College of Physicians award given to the graduate with the strongest academic record who is pursuing a career in Internal Medicine.
Following Ohio State, Joel completed a residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. It was during this time that he developed an interest in clinical research, particularly in the field of cardiovascular medicine. He left the University of Virginia to pursue a cardiovascular fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. While working as a fellow, Joel was actively involved in clinical research, and was chosen to serve as Chief Fellow for the program. He ultimately accepted an offer from the Cleveland Clinic to remain an additional two years to complete an advanced fellowship in coronary and peripheral vascular intervention. During those two years, he received extensive training in complex interventions, continued his clinical research, and served as the Chief Interventional Fellow. During his time at the Cleveland Clinic, he presented research at several national meetings, and published numerous abstracts, journal articles, and book chapters.
At the completion of his training in 2003, Joel chose to return home to Cincinnati to establish his cardiovascular practice. He remains involved in clinical research and has enjoyed working on program development at The Christ Hospital. He previously served as Medical Director for the Advanced Vascular Program at Christ Hospital, and was one of the initial physicians involved in building a program dedicated to the treatment of complex coronary artery disease. At the end of 2019, Joel retired from doing procedures in the cardiac catheterization lab and plans to spend the second half of his career focusing on clinical cardiology, medical student and resident education, and exploring opportunities in the application of artificial intelligence to medical practice.
