The Great Debate: Trendy vs. Traditional Teaching in CV Fellowship

Please join us to debate how the future of education in cardiovascular fellowship should evolve after more than a year of all virtual education. Do we stick with these new digital trends or do we return to more traditional in person teaching? Dr. Lisa Mendes will kick the night off with a summary of where we’ve been and how we got to our current state, then Drs. Dan Ambinder and Amit Goyal (from the CardioNerds podcast) and Drs. Melanie Sulistio and Katie Berlacher (representing old school PDs everywhere) will debate where we should go from here. This will be followed by a robust expert panel discussion led by Drs. Venu Menon and CA Sivaram.
