Program Highlights
Welcome to the University of Manitoba's Postgraduate Core Training in Adult Cardiology. As a trainee in our program over three years, you will acquire the necessary
skills and knowledge to excel in the field of Cardiology. The Cardiology Division is primarily located at St. Boniface General Hospital, where interaction with other
members of the Department of Cardiac Sciences, including the sections of Cardiac Surgery, Cardiac Anesthesia and Cardiac ICU, promote a comprehensive approach
to the cardiac patient.
Trainees will be exposed to clinical cardiology (CCU, wards, consults, and clinics), noninvasive cardiac imaging (echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, cardiac CT and
cardiac MRI), electrophysiology (pacemakers, defibrillators, EP studies and cardioversions) and interventional procedures (cardiac catheterization). The interventional
program provides a high volume, diverse exposure to angiography, complex coronary intervention, intravascular ultrasound, hemodynamic studies, endomyocardial
biopsy and rotational atherectomy with active planned development of valvuloplasty and structural intervention programs. The program further provides exposure to
state of the art 24/7 primary PCI infarction care. As there are currently 9 residents in the Adult Cardiology Training program, and no subspecialty fellows, the trainee
will develop expertise in management of acutely ill cardiac patients and first hand exposure to a number of invasive procedures. Additionally, trainees will participate
and present research (basic science and/or clinical research) projects with the close collaboration of the St. Boniface General Hospital Research Centre,
Cardiovascular Health and Research Outcomes in Manitoba (CHaRM) group, and the Department of Cardiac Sciences.
The trainee will be exposed to a number of educational rounds including:
Monday: Cardiology Grand Rounds; Discovery Research Rounds; Cath Pot Pourri Rounds; Physical Examination Rounds; Senior Fellow Rounds
Tuesday: Case Of The Week Rounds; RCPSC Practice Style Written Examinations; EP Rounds; Echo Rounds
