Trainees will be exposed to clinical cardiology (ACCU, wards, consults, and clinics), noninvasive cardiac imaging (echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, cardiac CT and cardiac MRI), electrophysiology (pacemakers, defibrillators, EP studies, and cardiac ablation) and interventional procedures (cardiac catheterization). Our training program also provides for the opportunity to be immersed in cutting-edge fields such as advanced heart failure & mechanical circulatory support, structural intervention, cardiac rehabilitation, and adult congenital heart disease. The program further provides exposure to state of the art 24/7 primary PCI infarction care.
Our trainees benefit from being part of a relatively small group of residents and subspecialty fellows, who all gain first hand exposure to acutely ill patients and a number of invasive procedures. Additionally, trainees will participate and present research (basic science and/or clinical research) projects with the close collaboration with the St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre and Cardiac Sciences Manitoba.
The trainee will be exposed to a number of educational rounds including:
Monday: Cardiology Grand Rounds; Discovery Research Rounds; Hemodynamic Rounds; Senior Fellow Rounds; RCPSC Practice Style Written Examinations; Echo Teaching Rounds; Intracardiac Electrogram Rounds
Tuesday: Case Of The Week Rounds; Arrhythmia Rounds; Echo Rounds
Wednesday: Complex Patient Care Rounds; Combined Cardiac Sciences Rounds; Physical Examination Rounds
Thursday: ECG Rounds; Academic ½ Day; Service Rounds; Journal Club; Cath Pot Pourri Rounds
Friday: Resident Teaching Rounds
Our goal is to produce strong Clinical Cardiologists/ Clinician Scientists who will be able to adapt to the many changes in the specialty of Cardiology which will occur in their professional lifetime.
