GENERAL INFORMATION

This unique educational program is designed to provide a focused, in-depth, hands-on review of advanced interventional techniques to fellows in the second year of their Interventional Cardiology fellowship; however, interventional fellows at any stage of their training, or general fellows with an interest in Interventional Cardiology are welcome. To assure maximum opportunity for continuous interaction between faculty and fellows, the attendance will be limited to the first 40 fellows who submit the proper paperwork.

The fundamental aspects of the course include a balanced inter-disciplinary perspective through a series of focused didactic presentations, case presentations, “hands-on” technical break-out sessions and continuous interactive exchanges between faculty and fellows. Upon completion of this program, the fellow will have an expanded understanding of the technical components of advanced intervention.
