The NUHS Cardiology Senior Residency Programme aims to develop our senior residents into committed cardiologists dedicated to compassionate and high quality patient-centred care. They will be trained in independent and collaborative care of patients with a broad variety of cardiovascular diseases. This include the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease, myocardial disease, heart failure, hypertension, congenital heart disease, valvular disease, vascular disease, and arrhythmias.
Our senior residents will come under the guidance of experienced and committed clinicians who also have an interest in academia. Our clinicians also serve as mentors and provide the necessary foundation in achieving proficiency in all aspects of their training.
The programme will help prepare our senior residents for a promising vocation in cardiovascular medicine.
