After graduating from the Université de Montréal in 2009, Dr. Raja Hatem completed his residency in internal medicine and cardiology in teaching hospitals at the same university in 2015.
Subsequently, he undertook additional training in interventional cardiology (hemodynamics) and more precisely in complex high-risk procedures at the prestigious Columbia University in New York.
In addition to teaching and clinical research, Dr. Hatem focuses on the treatment of coronary artery disease, particularly the percutaneous approach to chronically occluded coronary artery (CTO) debridement and other complex hemodynamic procedures (CHIP).
He is a national and international lecturer in his field and has contributed to co-write many chapters in interventional cardiology reference books.
He is currently director of the CTO-CHIP program at the Sacré-Coeur Hospital part of the CIUSSS North on the Island of Montreal
