This course is either two or three years and is designed to provide a high level of postgraduate training for doctors wishing to become trained in non-invasive and invasive cardiology.
The course is aimed at physicians who are undertaking specialist training in Cardiology. This course is run jointly between the Trinity College School of Medicine and the School of Cardiology, St. James´s Hospital, Dublin.
