Received clinical cardiology fellowship training for general cardiology (non-invasive cardiology, echocardiography, and interventional cardiology) and electrophysiology.

Research
CEDARS-SINAI MEDICAL CENTER, Los Angeles, CA, U.S.A., 2001-2003
Investigated animal experiments about cardiac nerve sprouting in mesechymal stem cell transplanted swine myocardial infarction model. Studied optical mapping and high density electrical mapping studies with mapping guided excitable gap pacing for control of ventricular fibrillation and exploring ventricular fibrillation dynamics.

KOREA UNIVERSITY MEDICAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL, 1994-2000

Conducted animal experiment about mechanism of ventricular arrhythmia and effects of antiarrhythmic agent using the isolated right ventricular tissue of swine. Investigated the importance of restitution
phenomenon in the mechanism of fibrillation maintenance and antiarrhythmic or proarrhythmic effects.
(From February 1996 to April 1999, participated in the mandatory military service in South Korean Marine Corps.)

KOREA UNIVERSITY MEDICAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL, 1992-1994
Studied the coronary artery morphology in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Investigated specific morphology of coronary artery culprit lesion along with age group or symptom onset time.

KOREA UNIVERSITY MEDICAL SCHOOL, 1985-1991
Studied basic cardiac physiology and pathophysiology in group of HEART and had an experience of
animal experiments about arrhythmogenesis in in vivo model.
