In addition to daytime interventional work, ICs will participate in interventional cardiology on-call, outpatient clinics and supervision and teaching of medical trainees. Interested ICs should note that structural heart interventions are NOT commissioned at SMH and remain at RCH, so structural work will not be part of the job description for these IC positions.

Expertise or academic publications in coronary physiology, intracoronary imaging and/or CHIP CTO intervention are desirable. A background in medical education or clinical trials are also desirable.
