Nursing/Allied Health Education

Nurses from all over the country are interested in working with the teams in the Heart Centre.  Why?  They want to be part of a team that is internationally known and consistently on the cutting edge of advancements in cardiac care. And they want to experience the rich inter-professional environment at the Heart Centre. We offer a range of supportive initiatives for nurses to grow and develop as professionals:

• Provide support for our nurses to pursue post-graduate specialty education in critical care
• Monthly Heart Centre Nursing Rounds (webcast across Canada – click here to be added to the mailing list)

For further information regarding the Heart Centre Nursing Rounds at St. Paul's Hospital, please contact Jackie Forman at jforman@providencehealth.bc.ca.

Our next Education Day is scheduled for June 4, 2021.  This year's topic is "Don't Skip a Beat: Update on Heart Rhythm Nursing".
