Optimizing PCI Fellows Imaging & Physiology Boot Camp
The Optimizing PCI Fellows Imaging & Physiology Boot Camp brought together interventional cardiology fellows for an intensive two-day, hands-on training workshop held at Oheka Castle in Long Island, New York. The course offered expert-led instruction with the goal of transforming angiographers into skilled imagers and physiologists in just two days. Course Directors Ziad Ali, MD, Allen Jeremias, MD, Gary S. Mintz, MD, Jeffrey W. Moses, MD, Evan Shlofmitz, DO, and Richard Shlofmitz, MD brought world-class expertise to this first-of-its-kind dynamic learning experience.
