About Members in Training
Trainees represent the future of cardiovascular care in Canada and are an essential part of the CCS community. CCS currently represents more than 625 clinical and research trainees across the country.
CCS works closely with the Canadian Cardiovascular Foundation (CCF) to support trainees through targeted programs, awards, and professional development opportunities.
The Canadian Cardiovascular Foundation’s Trainee Program at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress (CCC) is developed by trainees, for trainees, and offers learning, networking, and professional development opportunities tailored to their needs, including sessions, workshops, and the annual CCF Trainee Networking Luncheon.
CCS members help strengthen trainee programming by serving as faculty, supporting CCF programs and awards, and promoting opportunities for the next generation of cardiovascular clinicians and scientists.
CCS Trainee Committee
All the CCS Trainee Committee represents Members-in-Training across adult cardiology, pediatric cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, and cardiovascular research. Its mandate is to identify trainee needs, support national engagement, and bring the trainee perspective to CCS leadership.
