numerous occasions as well as being interviewed by the local press on his achievements as Chairman of Electrophysiology as Texas Heart Institute/ St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital.Dr. J Michael Wilson
As October of 2002 approached, it became important and necessary to find a replacement for Dr. Robert J. Hall as the chairman of the Texas Heart Institute / St.
Luke's Episcopal Hospital Cardiology Fellowship program. Each year many cardiology leaders, including the Hall Garcia Cardiology Associates, train young
physicians just out of their residency to become world leaders in the treatment of patients with cardiac and vascular disorders,
Dr. Wilson was the natural choice as he possesses the clinical keenness and personal attributes to gain the respect of his younger and older colleagues alike. This
role started on Jan 1, 2003 and continues daily with many hours of clinical and academic work. |
