- Our aim is to produce cardiologists who value scholarship and research as a tool to enable them to engage in life-long practice-based learning to apply new scientific knowledge to their patients and to guide future generations as teachers. Fellows will be taught relevant biostatistics underlying he design and interpretation of clinical trials, which will inform the development of scholarly activities such as research projects and publications of scholarly review.
