Robert A. Bruce is known as the “Father of Exercise Cardiology.” He developed the standardized treadmill test for diagnosing and evaluating heart and lung diseases. Dr. Bruce became the first Director of Cardiology at the University of Washington in Seattle in 1950, and he continued as Director for more than 30 years. His multistage test – several stages of progressively greater workloads – became known as the “Bruce Protocol.”
We have over 100 full-time clinical faculty at four hospitals: The University of Washington Medical Center - Montlake, The University of Washington Medical Center - Northwest, Harborview Medical Center and the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System.
Our faculty are known for excellence in patient care, teaching and research. In fact, many of the cardiologists listed by Seattle Magazine year after year as among "Seattle’s Best Doctors" are full-time University of Washington faculty.
