The Section seeks to facilitate the training of the future cardiovascular physician workforce and to serve as a resource for salient cardiovascular education and training issues.
The ACC PDGME Section members and Leadership Council will work within the College to advance cardiovascular science and practice through research and education, establish training criteria and guidelines and influence health care policy.
