Cardiology 101 & 201
Cardiology 101 and 201 aims to support and equip cardiology advanced trainees with skills and knowledge across the trajectory of the training program.
The course
Cardiology 101 and 201 will be run in 2026 as a blended weekend model, combining interactive workshops with focused presentations to maximise learning and engagement across different levels of clinical experience.
The course is held at The Victorian Heart Hospital, in Melbourne, over one weekend in November and offers a unique opportunity for learning and networking with colleagues.
Attendees will take away valuable insights and engage in networking opportunities with peers, mentors and industry partners. We believe that this can become a source for strengthening cardiology collaborations within Australia and New Zealand.
