Background
Dr Dominique Auger completed her medical studies at the Université de Montréal, Canada in 2003. She trained in internal medicine and cardiology within the Université de Montreal affiliated hospitals until 2009. She is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, certified in both Internal Medicine and Cardiology.
Dr Auger subsequently perfected her cardiac imaging skills first at Leiden University Medical Centre in the Netherlands and then at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London. She completed a PhD in 2014 on advanced imaging in heart failure at Leiden University.
She later returned to her alma mater at Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal (Centre Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal) as a staff Cardiologist with a particular interest in heart failure, echocardiography and cardiac MRI and at McGill University Health Centre in Montreal from 2012 to 2017. She combined a clinical practice to academic and teaching roles. Her personalised and holistic approach have made her greatly appreciated by her patients.
Dr Auger moved to the UK in 2017. She joined the team at West Herts Hospitals in 2018 where she led the Heart Failure team and developed a nationally acclaimed virtual ward.
She joined the Imperial Heart Failure team in 2023 and performs Cardiac MRI at St Mary’s Hospital.
Dr Auger is the author of more than 40 peer-reviewed articles and of a book chapter on Cardiac MRI in myocarditis, and is the proud mother of 3 young children.
