COVID-19

This past year, along-side colleagues across the globe, our training program faced challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our institution and our divisional leadership continue to respond dynamically. Measures for a safe working environment, including training on donning and doffing of PPE and seamless mechanisms to procure PPE have been implemented.

Our current didactic training structure remains robust and has been adapted to the virtual space.

While not at pre-COVID volumes, our Cath and EP Lab continue to grow.
