Sponsored by: Florida Chapter, American College of Cardiology
Thirty years ago, women were undervalued and underrepresented in CV medicine – today women must continue to overcome obstacles that stand in the way of being an active and present cardiologist. This forum has been designed as a meeting where women cardiologists will gather to work towards finding solutions that they can implement in cardiovascular medicine today.
Your Florida Chapter colleagues have created a terrific agenda for this conference and while COVID keeps changing we sincerely hope you can join us for what will be a very rewarding in-person experience. If your situation changes after signing up please know registration fees are fully refundable up to the day of the conference.
