20th Annual Update on Pediatric and Congenital Cardiovascular Disease: Care at the Cutting Edge in a Cost-conscious World.

At this informative and thought-provoking event, we will share cost-conscious strategies for incorporating the latest breakthroughs in medicine and biology into our patients’ care and discuss the fundamentals of pediatric and congenital cardiovascular care.

As always, it will be an exciting few days, filled with opportunities to connect with colleagues from a variety of disciplines — and have the kinds of discussions that make working in our field so intellectually challenging, invigorating and fun.

We look forward to seeing you in Orlando!
