The Department of Internal Medicine, Max Rady College of Medicine, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, Shared Health Manitoba, and the St. Boniface Hospital’s Cardiac Sciences Program invite applications for an Interventional Cardiologist in the Section of Cardiology.

This is a geographical, full-time, contingent position at the Assistant, Associate or Professor rank commencing July 1, 2027 or as soon thereafter as possible, for a term of 2 years, renewable upon favorable review. Salary and academic rank will be commensurate with experience, qualifications, and will consider the incumbent’s current academic rank.

This is an academic position with substantial cardiac resources within the region, primarily at two academic health centres (St. Boniface Hospital and Health Sciences Centre). At St. Boniface Hospital, there are a total of 3 Interventional Cardiology (IC) laboratories that provide cardiac care for over 1.6 million individuals in Manitoba, Nunavut, and Northwestern Ontario. A total of 7000 cardiac catheterizations are performed annually, of which 3000 involve percutaneous coronary interventions. In addition to 50 chronic total occlusion (CTO) procedures, our structural heart disease (SHD) program includes over 200 transcatheter aortic valve implantations and 100 ASD/PFO/LAA closure devices that are performed annually. As per the Canadian Institutes for Health Information (CIHI), the IC program continues to rank in the top 3 labs across Canada for the lowest 30 day mortality and complication rate for the previous 5 years. Additionally, the University of Manitoba has a RCPSC AFC Interventional Cardiology training program which has graduated up to 10 trainees (PGY-7/8) who have secured academic positions across Canada and the UK.

There are presently 31 full-time academic cardiologists within the Section of Cardiology with major clinical and investigative responsibilities in interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography and magnetic resonance, nuclear cardiology, cardiac rehabilitation, palliative care, and heart failure and cardiac transplantation.

The successful applicant will have academic potential, including demonstration of effective interdisciplinary communication, a record of prior training in Interventional Cardiology, as well as competency in general cardiology. Advanced subspecialty training in structural heart disease, chronic total occlusion, coronary microvascular dysfunction, interventional heart failure/mechanical circulatory support, and/or healthcare delivery of underserviced populations is encouraged. They must also have clinical and teaching skills to further the aims of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in Adult Cardiology.

Candidates must have senior specialty qualifications in Adult Cardiology in the country of current practice and must be eligible for registration with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba. Certification in Adult Cardiology by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada is preferred.
