Off to the Old Country

by Jack Lewin August 29, 2010 06:16

I’m off to Stockholm this weekend for the ESC 2010 Congress. Looks like there’s going to be a lot of great science (check out the coverage from CardioSource starting today). On Monday, ACC President-Elect David Holmes, MD, FACC, ACC Vice President William Zoghbi, MD, FACC, and ACC President Ralph Brindis, MD, FACC, are going a special “meet & greet” at the ACC Booth. This is a good opportunity for us to meet with members of the international community and learn more about the issues that are important to them. With everything that’s going on here in the U.S. with health reform, it’s easy to get distracted from international issues – but ACC’s growing number of international chapters makes connecting with international members of utmost importance.

Not only is there the Meet & Greet session, but as Ralph mentioned in his post on Friday on the ACC in Touch blog, there’s tons of meetings with international cardiovascular societies. This really is a great opportunity to meet international cardiovascular professionals! Not to mention, the science looks like it’s going to be top-notch. If you want real-time updates on ACC’s coverage, follow the ACC on Twitter or “like” us on Facebook. If you don’t know how to do this, ask your teenage kid.
