Program Director, Cardiovascular Disease, HCA Florida Largo Hospital
Ronald L. Walsh, MD, was exposed to the practice of medicine during his childhood years. His father was a family physician in downtown Detroit, Michigan. This sparked his interest in medicine as a youth and it was further enhanced by my work experiences as a hospital orderly during high school and working as a nursing assistant in the emergency room during my college years. This gave Dr. Walsh a good idea about what a career in medicine might be like and spurred him on to take premedical curriculum in college. He was accepted into the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1973 and graduated first in his class in 1977. During medical school, Dr. Walsh was keenly interested in internal medicine and realized that his true passion was in cardiology and that a large proportion of internal medicine patients have cardiovascular problems or risks. He therefore decided to specialize in the field of cardiovascular medicine. Dr. Walsh completed his internal medicine residency at the Chicago Osteopathic Medical Centers and then went to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois. to do his cardiology fellowship training in 1980 and completed it in 1982 with a special emphasis on cardiac rhythm disorders and electrophysiology.
