Adult Cardiology Residency Training Program
Thank you for your interest in our program!
The Adult Cardiology Residency Training Program at Western University's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry is designed to provide innovative and comprehensive training in all areas of contemporary cardiology. Our primary mission is to develop the next generation of highly skilled, well-rounded, and compassionate leaders in cardiovascular medicine. The program has a rich history of evolving to meet the changing demands of cardiovascular care, ensuring our graduates enter their careers with a complete clinical knowledge base, expert procedural skills, and a commitment to lifelong learning. Recent graduates were well prepared to practice in both academic and community settings, with some pursuing general cardiology and others undertaking further subspecialized training.
This is achieved through a rigorous three-year curriculum that integrates cognitive and procedural skill development in a collegial environment with experienced and dedicated educators and mentors. Residents consistently highlight the supportive faculty as a strength of the program. We place a strong emphasis on career development, providing significant exposure and mentorship in research, teaching, and critical appraisal to foster lifelong learning skills. The program also offers a degree of flexibility to allow trainees to customize their training to meet their individual career goals. Provided clinical training requirements are progressing, trainees may choose to explore advanced training degrees or additional areas of clinical focus within the 3-year program.
