The Adult Echocardiography fellowship provides formal training in advanced echocardiography (transesophageal, stress (exercise/dobutamine), three-dimensional echocardiography, strain imaging, intraprocedural echocardiography). The Echocardiography Laboratory at the University Health Network is a high-volume center (>25000 cases per year) and a quartenary care facility with expertise in complex cardiac conditions (eg. advanced heart failure and cardiomyopathies, valvular heart lesions, adult congenital heart disease). Research opportunities during the fellowship period include investigations involving novel echocardiographic techniques, the role of echocardiography in the management of cardiomyopathies and valvular lesions, and assessment of educational and quality methods in echocardiography. The Echocardiography fellowship is the only fellowship at UHN that meets level 3 standards for training in Echocardiography, as outlined by current guidelines issued by the Canadian and American Societies of Echocardiography.
