Attention, Female Cardiology Fellows

Women are under-represented in the field of cardiology. Is this true in your training program? The ACC Women in Cardiology Section is reaching out to female medical students and residents in order to encourage them to pursue careers in cardiology. We need your help. If you plan to attend the ACC Conference in March 24-27, please join us. For more information and to become involved in the ACC WC fellow working group, contact Jennifer Peura (fellow-Washington University in St. Louis) by e-mail at jenpeura@msn.com.
