Ahmed Gargoum, PGY6, Cardiology
Ahmed is a dedicated cardiology fellow who completed his medical degree at the University of Alberta, where he later returned to Saskatoon for his residency in Internal Medicine and a fellowship in Cardiology. Raised in Regina, Ahmed has a strong connection to his Saskatchewan roots and aims to bring specialized cardiology care to his community after graduating. Outside of medicine, Ahmed is an avid sports enthusiast, enjoying tennis and soccer, and proudly maintains an undefeated record in pickleball.
Here are some of the reasons Ahmed was chosen as Resident of the Month (As quoted from the nomination letter):
"Dr. Gargoum's clinical knowledge and skills in cardiology are exceptional. He is always up-to-date with the latest research and best practices, and he eagerly shares his insights with junior residents. His ability to manage complex cases with confidence and precision is truly impressive. He is an excellent team player, always willing to lend a hand and offer support. He fosters a collaborative and inclusive environment where everyone's contributions are valued."
"He exemplifies professionalism in every aspect of his work. He treats patients, colleagues, and staff with the utmost respect and compassion. His integrity and ethical standards are unwavering, making him a role model for all residents. He has a talent for explaining complex medical information in a way that is easy for patients and their families to understand. His empathetic communication style helps build strong, trusting relationships with his patients."
"Outside of his professional responsibilities, Dr. Gargoum maintains a balanced lifestyle (as much as he can as a cardiology resident). He is an avid runner, with many major goals he has set for himself in the coming years. He will also hands down beat anyone in a game of Street Fighter."
