**About Us**:
Alberta Health Services (AHS) is Canada’s first and largest province-wide, fully integrated health system, responsible for delivering health services to the over four million people living in Alberta as well as to some residents of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. The Stollery Children’s Hospital is a full-service pediatric hospital and centre for complex pediatric care and research. It is the only specialized healthcare facility for infants, children and youth in central and northern Alberta. It has among the highest inpatient volumes of any children’s hospital in Canada and serves a geographical area of over 500,000 km.

Our team performs 450 - 500 cardiac catheterization procedures per year with two-thirds of the cases being interventional, including surgical hybrid, procedures. We have growing expertise in performing 3D echo-rather than angiography-guided transcatheter interventions, the first in Canada. The Interventional Cardiology Service supports the WCCHN, accepting most referrals from all three prairie provinces and from Northwest Territory and Nunavut for diagnostic and interventional cardiac procedures. Interventional pediatric cardiologists at our institution work in close collaboration with the adult congenital cardiac interventional program at the University of Alberta Hospital and the Mazankowski Heart Institute which also supports all three Canadian prairie provinces. The applicant, as is true for most of our faculty, will also participate in general inpatient cardiac service and night/weekend call, and in a general outpatient clinic.
