Why did you choose your profession?:
Pediatric and Congenital Cardiology is a fascinating field! The anatomy and physiology, and change in both with age as well as change through catheter-based and surgical interventions is what intrigued me initially and continues to excite me every day! Additionally, the advances in cardiac imaging modalities, non-invasive and invasive interventions, and management strategies is continuously evolving, making it even more interesting!
