Education
One
of the major goals of the Division of Cardiology at the University of
Washington is to pass on knowledge to others and improve the delivery of
specialty care in rural hospitals and clinics. To accomplish this, the
Cardiology Division has developed an extensive lecture series available to
referring hospitals and physicians. UW physicians with subspecialty training
and experience are available to present continuing medical education lectures
in all areas of clinical cardiology. They speak on topics ranging from
preventive cardiology to heart failure, dysrhythmias and acute coronary
syndromes.
Another educational goal within University
of Washington Division of Cardiology is to give medical students a chance to
spend time with our Faculty and Residents to get a glimpse of what it would be
like to become a cardiologist. We accomplish this goal through fulfilling our
teaching mission:
- To train cardiology residents to become
excellent clinicians who practice medicine with the highest of ethical
standards.
- To develop the next generation of leaders
in academic and clinical cardiology.
- To train students and other physicians in
basic care of patients with heart disease.
- To provide continuing education to cardiologists
in our department and community.
