John Keith Lecture

Biography  
 

Since Dr Keith's lecture within the annual Canadian Cardiovascular Society meeting in1967, it became a tradition to invite prestigious lecture to share their experiences, vison and contribution in the field of Pediatric Cardiology. This lecture is perpetuating Dr Keith's passion for teaching. More than 100 fellows trained under his direction and many of them still contribute to the patients care and also participate to teaching and research in many different University Hospitals not only in different regions of Canada but elsewhere in the world. His work, associated with the works of other pioneers of his time, changed dramatically the diagnosis and therapeutic approaches of many different heart defects in children and opened new perspectives that led to the modern practice of Pediatric Cardiology.

Each year the Canadian Pediatric Cardiology Association is proud to participate with Heart and Stroke Foundation in the organisation of the John Keith Lecture. This event is an occasion to remember his major contribution to the Canadian Society as well as to maintain our international reputation as he did.
