The Cardiac Prevention fellowship program at St. Michael's Hospital is a 12-24 month fellowship providing training in all the essential aspects of contemporary preventive cardiology with an emphasis on risk reduction strategies in the patient with coronary disease. Ambulatory care will be emphasised. As well, there is the opportunitiy to explore postmenopausal women's health and aspects of gender equtity. By the end of the training period, it is expected that trainees will have acquired the knowledge, experience, and clinical and technical skills required to be an expert in the diagnosis and management of the entire spectrum of cardiac prevention. GIM training is a prerequisite. The fellowship will be tailored to the trainees background (GIM vs Cardiology training) and needs. In addition to clinical expertise, trainees will also have the opportunity to pursue academic or scholarly activity in the area of cardiac prevention with appropriate supervision at a level required to further a career in academic cardiology, GIM, and/or cardiac prevention.
