Drs. Dave Nagpal, Dimitris Kalavrouziotis, and Rakesh Arora

09:10 – 11:20

Are you fascinated by ECMO and VADs? These mechanical circulatory assist devices are re-shaping the types of cardiac patients that we will be taking care of in the future. Learn the indications of when you should use these mechanical circulatory supports, what your contraindications may be, and the complications that can arise from their use. Drop in to examine how a real life ECMO circuit can impact cardiopulmonary physiology and learn to appreciate the many options of VADs that are available to us.

PacemakersandDefibrillators

Drs. Mehrdad Golian, Kaja Konieczny, and Ciorsti MacIntyre

14:10 – 15:10

Do you want to learn how to interrogate and program PPMs and AICDs? Well, here’s your chance for an introduction to some common case scenarios of oversensing, undersensing, loss of capture, loss of output, and appropriateness of shock delivery. This is what you really need to know when you’re on call! Trainees will also gain an overview of indications, contraindications, and potential complications that can arise with these cardiac devices.

CommunityPractice

Drs. Heather Warren and Danielle Leddy

09:10 – 10:10

Most trainees have little exposure to community cardiology, furthermore the academic vs. community divide is fraught with misperceptions. We have recent graduates who now practice in the community to share their experiences. We will also provide insight into how and why they chose community practice and highlight their journey in finding and obtaining their new jobs (vs. veteran grads).

Transitioning to IndependentPractice Ms. Marie-Josée Hamel
