2017 ISHLT Academy Core Competencies in Infectious Diseases in Thoracic Transplantation and Mechanical Circulatory Support
4 April, 2017 7:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.
San Diego, CA, USA
While all members are invited to enroll, this course is primarily designed to be of benefit for clinicians and allied professionals who are in the early stages of their careers or who are in training and/or are part of a new program or desire an update on the current state of the field. The information presented covers core competencies and is intended to provide a strong foundation of the overarching principles of infectious disease concerns in cardiothoracic transplantation and mechanical circulatory support, rather than as a detailed update for those who are already proficient experts in the field.
