His clinical training includes three years at the University of Toronto in Internal Medicine and four years at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute - three in Adult Cardiology and a fourth in Interventional Cardiology. He was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada in Internal Medicine in 2003 and in cardiology in 2005. He joined the University of Ottawa Heart Institute in July 2006.

Research and clinical interests

Dr. Froeschl’s clinical interests include interventional cardiology, cardiac critical care, and general cardiology. His chief academic interest is medical education. In 2007, Dr. Froeschl won the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada Fellowship for Studies in Medical Education.  In 2011, he completed a master’s degree in health professions education in the Faculty of Medicine at Maastricht University in the Netherlands.
