Dr. Kitoga trained in Pediatric Cardiology, Jan-March 2010
The time at Wolfson was focused on pediatric cardiology. This was a very excellent time of training. If I had known what it would be earlier I would have liked to spend more time.
In Wolfson everyone worked together as a team on each case, from the pediatrician to the surgeon. Everyone shared, discussed about the problems with that case. This was a very good experience for me. There was no guarding “my case”. You don’t see this in Congo.
The differences between adult and pediatric cardiology are enormous. I didn’t realize before how much that it is; this is also the case between pediatric and adult echocardiography. In Belgium we learned that pediatric is easy, just the same, but at Wolfson I experienced how complicated and complex pediatric echocardiography is, how many irregularities there are. And the follow-up practices between adult and pediatric cardiology are also so different. This has been a huge learning experience for me.
[Here in Israel] people are so ready to help you learn, to share information and to teach you.
