Universitair Medisch Centrum Utrecht

UMC Utrecht in The Netherlands is a top-ranked academic medical center in Europe and offers excellent opportunities in the field of patient care, cure, education, career development and research. UMC Utrecht has been awarded international accreditation on quality of care, research and education by the Joint Commission International (JCI) for the third time in 2019. The academic hospital is part of the Utrecht University, ranking 49 on the 2019 Shanghai Ranking, as number 1 university of The Netherlands. Two of the six strategic themes of the UMCU are Circulatory Health and Cancer.  

The Department of Radiotherapy of the UMCU is part of the division of Imaging and Oncology. It is the treatment center for the Middle Netherlands region, and operates at the forefront of innovative developments to improve radiation accuracy: the MR-linac was invented here. 

The Department of Cardiology of the UMCU is a tertiary referral centre and a centre of expertise in several subspecialties (e.g. heart transplantations, left ventricular assist devices and genetic heart disorders), for both clinical care and research. In the UMCU ablations and device implantations are performed daily (between 30 and 50 VT ablations each year, this number is growing) and therefore the department is well equiped and highly experienced in catheter ablations. In other research projects our department has developed experience with non-invasive ECG-imaging.
