Overview
Emory Practical Intervention Course – Southeastern Consortium
EPIC-SEC 2016
Online registration is closed. Please register onsite.
In the 35th anniversary of the conference, the Emory Practical Intervention Course - Southeastern Consortium (EPIC-SEC) welcomes a large network of cardiology, interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery and vascular surgery colleagues specializing in coronary, structural and/or peripheral disease to further enhance the care of their patients, mentor and train future generations of cardiovascular specialists, and lead clinical research in the field. This year, 15 medical centers will participate in this clinical, educational and research consortium, in addition to welcoming healthcare professionals from around the globe.
This conference is designed for interventional cardiologists, cardiac and vascular surgeons, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, interventional radiologists and other healthcare professionals interested in the optimal practice of interventional and structural cardiovascular medicine.
The Emory Practical Intervention Course (EPIC) has been an annual event since 1981 providing training for thousands of interventional cardiologists from the United States and abroad. Last year, EPIC became the Emory Practical Intervention Course-Southeastern Consortium (EPIC-SEC) with twelve academic centers participating. This year we are honored to announce that fifteen academic medical centers will actively contribute to this clinical, educational and research consortium and to EPIC SEC.
