The pediatric mechanical circulatory support field continues to grow and has enough unique challenges to justify an entire session dedicated to learning about pediatric support strategies. The basic principles of MCS, including patient/device selection, peri-operative management, and basics of transition to home will be discussed. The goal will be to learn from didactics but also allow for discussion in order to share experiences and learn from each other.

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, are part of a new program or desire an update on the current state of the field.
