Description:
Dr. Zahi Abu Ghosh is participating in an advanced clinical fellowship in Interventional Cardiology in Canada to acquire specialized skills, research experience, and exposure to technologies that are not yet widely available in Israel. Leading North American programs set the global standard for complex interventional and structural heart procedures, combining high procedural volumes with cutting-edge innovation and data-driven care.
A central component of this fellowship is Dr. Abu Ghosh’s active involvement in cardiovascular research at the University of Toronto. By working with large-scale clinical registries and advanced “big data” research infrastructure, he is gaining expertise in outcomes analysis, evidence generation, and precision-based decision-making—skills that are increasingly essential in modern cardiology but remain limited in scope locally.
Clinically, the fellowship provides comprehensive training in advanced interventional and structural heart (valvular) procedures, including the management of high-risk patients with complex cardiovascular disease. This hands-on experience enhances Dr. Abu Ghosh’s ability to deliver state-of-the-art, evidence-based care.
Upon his return to the Heart Institute of Hadassah Medical Center, Dr. Abu Ghosh will translate this training directly into improved patient outcomes, expanded procedural capabilities, and strengthened clinical research initiatives in Israel.
