Resident Sponsorship Program
The Resident Sponsorship Program (RSP) supports resident education and provides real-world training through attendance at Going Back to the Heart of Cardiology. The RSP offers educational and networking activities with an acute focus on the most important issues facing residents in cardiology practice today. The medical education is not only relevant and cutting edge, but the network of personal and professional support is an invaluable investment in each scholar’s education, career, and personal growth.
The RSP includes:
- Complimentary conference registration
- 3 nights single occupancy hotel accommodations
- Breakfast, lunch, and refreshment breaks
- A maximum $500 air travel stipend will be provided after the conference with receipt
