ISHLT2026 Preconference Day: Immersive Learning with Academies
Experience immersive learning by registering for one of the ISHLT Academies taking place on Tuesday, 21 April in Toronto, just before the 46th Annual Meeting & Scientific Sessions.
2026 ISHLT/ACTION/PHTS Advanced Cardiac Therapies in Congenital Heart Disease and Pediatrics Master Academy
8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. ET
An immersive one-day workshop on lifelong management of patients with congential heart disease that is for any member of the patient care team. This session will explore evidence-informed strategies, MCS modalities, best practices for evaluation and long term management, and discussions on equitable, patient-centered care.
2026 Cardiogenic Shock Academy: Real World Applications
8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. ET
With all new content developed after last year’s 2025 Academy, this highly interactive course will explore real world applications and management of cardiogenic shock, including interactive discussions and simulations that inspire practical takeaways.
2026 ISHLT Infectious Disease/Pharmacy Academy: From Pathogens to Pharmacokinetics - Optimizing Outcomes in Thoracic Transplant
8:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. ET
This comprehensive course is for transplant clinicians, pharmacists, and specialists on care teams treating infectious diseases in heart and lung transplant patients. The session will feature discussions on immunologic complications in transplant, optimizing therapies, evaluating infectious risk, vaccines, peri-transplant prophylaxis, and molecular diagnostics.
Registration for these events is separate from the conference: You don’t have to attend ISHLT2026 to take advantage of the Preconference Day activities in Toronto, but the courses are a great complement to your Annual Meeting experience.
