Dr. Grace Chua is a community cardiologist at Mackenzie Health in Richmond Hill and Vaughan, Ontario, with a very active private practice. She received her medical and cardiology training which included a fellowship in Adult Echocardiography as well as Clinical Epidemiology at the University of Toronto. During her training, she was involved in clinical research leading to a publication in the New England Journal of Medicine that has been instrumental in initiating the declaration of conflict of interest in medicine that we see today. She was the Chief of the Division of Cardiology at Mackenzie Health from September 2003 to March 2017 and was the initiating force in the development of the hospital’s rapid access cardiology clinic and heart function service. Currently, her interests lie in clinical education and knowledge translation, particularly in the field of heart failure, as well as prevention of cardiometabolic disease. Her passion is to develop innovative ways to educate both health care practitioners and patients, as well as initiatives that improve patient care.
