The ACC recently established a new council to inform the College on academic and research concerns with the mission of “advocate[ing] for high-quality cardiovascular care, education, and research by serving as a voice of the academic cardiovascular community.”  The Council on Academic Cardiology held its first meeting during the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions in November. While in Chicago, the council’s chair, Joseph Hill, F.A.C.C., Ph.D., and the College’s president-elect, David Holmes, F.A.C.C., recorded an interview for CardioSourceVideoNews. In the interview, Drs. Hill and Holmes discuss the new council’s mission and how it will provide the College with the academic perspective on significant issues such as education, training, and research support as well as the importance of science and education to the entire cardiovascular community and some of the activities the council has planned.
