Welcome to the Division of Cardiology. We are a Division of the Department of Medicine, Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, Western University. We provide secondary, tertiary and quaternary level clinical services to London Health Sciences Centre’s (LHSC) Cardiac Care Program and St. Joseph’s Health Care London ambulatory facilities. We strive for excellence and innovation in our clinical, research and educational cardiovascular health and disease programs.

Our over thirty cardiologists all have full time academic appointments with the School and are active in medical education at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels as well as in continuing medical education. The Division has a fully accredited Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) Adult Cardiology Subspecialty Training Program, as well as the newly implemented RCPSC diploma fellowship programs in electrophysiology and interventional cardiology. Many Division members are active in basic and clinical cardiovascular research, with national and international recognition.
