SOCCA Members are invited to attend the next Heart ICU: Cardiothoracic Critical Care Conference.

This recurring virtual conference focuses on mechanical circulatory support (MCS), as well as cardiothoracic critical care more generally, and was developed by anesthesiology intensivists as a forum to present challenging clinical cases, discuss complex patient management with peers, and network. This conference launched last year through collaboration with the New York State Society of Anesthesiologists (NYSSA) and has garnered interest and attendees from across the country, and the planning committee would like to open up the invite to all interested parties.

The conference is free of charge to attend!

This conference is for interested anesthesiologists, intensivists, cardiac surgeons, APPs, fellows, residents, and students.
