Welcome to ACC’s Health Care Innovation Member Section!
Jennifer A. Silva, MD, FACC
Chair
We are a young, vibrant section dedicated to adding value to Section members interested in Innovation across the cardiovascular spectrum. Our section is member-driven and focused on all aspects of health care innovation, including areas of broad focus career development, such as entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship and care pathway development; and more content specific areas, such as artificial intelligence (AI), digital health and digital twins.
Like any new venture, we take a deliverable-based approach to our focus areas. These deliverables vary based on the project leaders and include manuscripts, webinars and in-person events. Here are current focus areas for the Section:
If any of these opportunities piqued your interest, or if you have other ideas for the Heath Care Innovation Member Section, please reach out to me or Cecilia Araoz caraoz@acc.org. We hope that you will join us to advance our mission!
Sincerely,
Jennifer A. Silva, MD, FACC
