Episode 9: Empowering women’s heart health with Dr. Coutinho

In episode 9, we welcome Dr. Thais Coutinho, cardiologist and division head of Prevention and Rehabilitation at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, as well as Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Ottawa. Additionally, Dr. Coutinho sits as the chair of the Heart Institute’s Canadian Women’s Heart Health Centre, and is an internationally recognized clinician scientist in the field of arterial health.

We discuss her calling to medicine, work-life balance, scope of practice, and future goals. Dr. Coutinho also offers some insight in regard to the mitigation of risks associated with arterial diseases in women, as well as the unspoken realities of her professional domain. She further provides an overview of the utilization of her grant from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).
