Cecilia Gonzalez Corcia is a Consultant Cardiologist and Pediatric Electrophysiologist at CHU Sainte-Justine in Montreal, Canada. Originally from Argentina, she completed her medical studies at the University of Buenos Aires and her pediatric training at the Gutierrez Children’s Hospital. She then pursued further specialization in pediatric cardiology and electrophysiology at Boston Children’s Hospital.
After completing her training, Cecilia moved with her family to Belgium, where she laid the foundation for the first Pediatric Electrophysiology Program in Belgium at Clinique St-Luc, the Catholic University Hospital in Brussels, and UZ Antwerp. During her time in Belgium, she worked on her PhD focusing on Brugada syndrome in the young, under the mentorship of Professor Pedro Brugada, which she completed in 2017.
From 2018 to 2022, Cecilia served as the Lead of Pediatric Electrophysiology at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, where she advanced pediatric electrophysiology and inherited cardiac conditions expertise in the southwest of the UK. During this period, she also completed a 3-year Master's in Genomics, with a focus on Cardio-genomics, at Imperial College London, and established the foundation for a Pediatric Brugada International Registry.
In 2022, Cecilia relocated to Montreal, where she currently holds the clinical position of Lead of Pediatric Electrophysiology at Sainte-Justine Hospital and a professorship and research position at the University of Montreal.
Her work is driven by a commitment to excellence in patient care, particularly in developing expertise in inherited cardiac conditions in the region. Teaching is one of her passions, as she believes it is essential for passing on the knowledge and experiences she has gained from her own mentors, thereby contributing to the betterment of society.
