The Montréal Heart Institute
(MHI) has the status of a university facility for
cardiovascular diseases.
It is affiliated with the
Université de Montréal, and
contributes to achieving the university's vision by
achieving strategic objectives in teaching:
|
|
- Training the best cardiology specialists, specialists in
related fields and nursing care specialized in cardiology;
-
Helping patients and the general public better
understand and prevent cardiovascular disease and its
recurrence;
-
Contributing to the national and international
influence of the facility through the dissemination of
knowledge.
Since it was created, the MHI has contributed to
training a large number of cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and
radiologists specialized in cardiac disease practising in
Québec. Internationally renowned for training and its
specialization in cardiovascular diseases, the MHI ensures its
students that they will receive very high quality instruction
offered by teachers who are learned experts in their fields and
use as equipment that it is at the forefront of
technology.
Every year, the Institute hosts a large number of
physicians from Canadian and international universities and
health institutions. It annually welcomes some 50 students in
medicine and some 60 residents from across eight specialities:
anesthesiology, cardiology, heart surgery, internal medicine,
nuclear medicine, psychosomatic medicine, physiatry and
radiology. A unique aspect of the Institute is that some fifteen
fellows, mainly cardiologists from a variety of countries, come
to conduct highly specialized training for a year or two, which
is part of the Institute's contribution to the international
influence of Québec medicine.
Aside from these internships for students, residents
and medical specialists, other health professional can undergo
training in a variety of specialities: health administration,
dietetics, electrocardiography, biomedical engineering,
respiratory therapy, radiology, nuclear medicine, pharmacy,
physiotherapy, nursing care, laboratory techniques and animal
