About

CONSULTANT CARDIOLOGIST

Dr Gosia Wamil MD, MSc, PhD, MRCP, FESC, Assistant Professor Mayo Clinic

Dr Wamil is a Consultant Cardiologist specialising in heart failure, cardiomyopathies and advanced cardiac imaging. She trained in cardiology at the Oxford University Hospitals. This included an internship in general medicine and fellowships in cardiovascular medicine, advanced cardiac imaging and heart failure. During that period, she gained formal accreditations in echocardiography, cardiac CT and cardiac magnetic resonance. Apart from her clinical career, she is also a clinician-scientist with research experience spanning from molecular biology and drug development projects to large-scale clinical trials. She completed the British Heart Foundation (BHF) MSc-PhD programme in Cardiovascular Science at the University of Edinburgh, followed by a postdoctoral BHF CRE fellowship in cardiac imaging at the University of Oxford. In her capacity as an expert in heart diseases associated with diabetes, she is a member of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
