- As a clinician-scientist,
there's really two aspects
of the American Heart Association's
Scientific Conferences
that really appeal to me.
The first is the quality
and depth of the science.
And second is the opportunity to get
contemporary updates in the management
of patients with cardiovascular disease.
Now there's gonna be a
number of new and innovative
educational opportunities
for the attendees.
One area is our Frontiers in Science,
which this year will have an
arrhythmia research summit.
And in addition, there'll
be Frontiers of Science
in vascular disease.
In addition, there's gonna be
a boot camp in clinical genomics.
And, there'll be opportunities
for training through simulation.
Particularly in the areas
of the artificial heart.
Three reasons to attend
Scientific Sessions is
one, the science.
Secondly, the innovation.
And third, the opportunity to network.
My career has benefited tremendously
from attending Scientific Sessions.
I've got to learn a lot from people
who I considered role
models in their field.
And, I've had the opportunity to interact
with colleagues whom I would not
be seeing on a day-to-day basis.
But who come from all over the nation
and, in fact, all over the world.
