President's Message

march 2024

Dear FCACC Members: 


Spring is a busy time for the Florida Chapter. Below, check out all that's happening.


Doctor of the Day Program

The chapter was well represented in Tallahassee during this year’s legislative session. Many thanks to Doctors Rivas, Lopez, and Chu. Marnie George is continuing to track several issues for us as the session nears sine die. If you have any interest in the program, it is a great opportunity to, first and foremost, practice medicine in the Legislative clinic, and also to meet your representatives. We will send out information about the 2025 session in the future.


Book your travel to MADRID and VIGO

The dates are set, June 16-20, the Sociedad Espanola de Cardiologia will be hosting us at two sites in Spain. The trip is a great balance of exchanging ideas, meeting new people, and having fun with friends and family. More information is available on the chapter website and we hope to see you there. https://www.accfl.org/International-Partner-Spain

 

CardioNerds and Dr. Juan Lopez-Mattei

For those of you into podcasts, give a listen to this recent episode of the CardioNerds, where our own Dr. Lopez-Mattei breaks down his approach to cardiac tumors and CardioOncology. Please share your achievements with us so we can spread the great works of our chapter and members.

Be on the lookout for RUC surveys about PCI and LAA procedures

CMS has randomly sent out surveys asking for information about the time and resources your spend on these families of procedures. If you receive a survey request, please contact us or the ACC Advocacy team for any assistance with completing the surveys accurately as these are the basis for CMS reimbursement of the procedures and they are due March 12th!
