At least Level II nuclear certification is also desirable but not required. Particular interest or expertise in congestive heart failure will be looked upon favourably.
Applicants must be licensed or eligible for a license to practice in Ontario with accreditation in Cardiology by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada or its equivalent.
