Cardiovascular Anesthesia

This fellowship is intended to provide trainees with academic and clinical educational opportunities in perioperative management of cardiovascular surgical patients, including advanced trans-esophageal echocardiography.

The fellowship training offers the requisite knowledge, technical skills and clinical experience to safely provide anesthesia care for patients undergoing a broad range of cardiovascular operations.

Our cardiac surgery program performs approximately 1100 to 1200 open heart procedures per year. In addition, our cardiovascular anesthesia group also provides care for a diverse group of patients undergoing non-open-heart procedures.

Fellows can expect a learning environment that includes patients requiring a range of surgical procedures to address complex cardiovascular disease. Our centre does not perform heart or lung transplantation but we would assist a fellow in organizing an elective in this area at another centre.

One to two fellowships position are offered per year, typically starting each July. Alternative start dates can be considered.
