Description:
The program is intended to provide emerging cardiovascular physician leaders with an opportunity to acquire advanced research and clinical skills in the field of cardiometabolic disease. Cardiometabolic disease encompasses the diagnosis and ambulatory management of patients with or at risk of chronic cardiovascular disease (e.g., atherosclerosis, heart failure, cerebrovascular or peripheral vascular disease) including high-risk groups such as those with diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hyperlipidemia, etc. Patients will be identified in both the acute-care and ambulatory setting with a goal towards a multidisciplinary approach to their longitudinal care. Research will involve the acquisition of new knowledge and skills in conducting Health Canada regulated randomized trials testing new therapies to improve clinical outcomes in these patients. The training will place a particular emphasis on the clinician-scientist role that enables potential synergy between developing an alignment between a clinical career and research focus.
