He trained in Australia and the United Kingdom, with advanced fellowship training in interventional cardiology, structural heart disease, and cardiovascular research. ## Education and Academic Background Dr Faour’s undergraduate and postgraduate education was completed in Australia: - **Bachelor of Science (BSc), The University of Queensland, Brisbane** — Biomedical Science and Physiology, completed 2006. - **Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), The University of Queensland, Brisbane** — completed 2010. - **Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of New South Wales, Sydney** — completed 2023. During his studies at The University of Queensland, he received multiple **Dean’s Commendations for High Achievement**, including commendations in Bachelor of Science and MBBS coursework. His doctoral research at the University of New South Wales focused on STEMI systems of care, prehospital ECG interpretation, catheterisation laboratory activation decisions, and reperfusion therapy. ## Clinical Training and Practice His clinical work focuses on complex coronary intervention, including intravascular imaging- and physiology-guided PCI with OCT, IVUS, FFR, and iFR. He has experience in high-risk and complex PCI, bifurcation intervention, rotational atherectomy, mechanical circulatory support, and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Dr Faour completed interventional cardiology fellowship training at Liverpool Hospital and Campbelltown Hospital in Sydney, Australia, and structural cardiology fellowship training at Leeds General Infirmary in the United Kingdom. During his fellowship training, he performed high-volume coronary intervention and structural heart procedures, including PCI, TAVI, and protected PCI with mechanical circulatory support. His research interests span STEMI systems of care, prehospital ECG interpretation, reperfusion strategy, infarct-size assessment, intracoronary imaging, coronary physiology, and outcomes after PCI. He has authored peer-reviewed publications and conference abstracts in major cardiovascular journals and meetings. Dr Faour is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP) and a Fellow of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (FCSANZ).
