Focussing on MHI priorities, the Bal du Coeur Fellowships are awarded to clinical physicians pursuing postdoctoral studies, specialized training or clinical research.
Dr. Anique Ducharme: $10,000
For a clinical overspecialization in cardiac transplantation under the guidance of Dr. David O. Taylor at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
Dr. Katia Dyrda Langelaan: $50,000
For a two-year fellowship in electrophysiology under the guidance of Dr. K. Zeppenfeld at the Leiden University Medical Centre in The Netherlands, where she will gain clinical expertise in epicardial ablation of ventricular tachycardia.
Dr. Nicolo Piazza: $50,000
For a one-year fellowship at the Leipzig Medical Centre in Germany under the guidance of Professor Gerhard Schuler. The training will allow him to develop clinical expertise in percutaneous aortic valves implantation.
