A welcome return to in-person courses The EACTS Academy team has welcomed delegates back to EACTS House for the first in-person training course in two years. For the first time since the pandemic, attendees experienced in-person presentations, MDT sessions and an entire day of Wetlab training as part of the updated Fundamentals in Cardiac Surgery: Valvular Heart Disease course, focusing particularly on valvular heart disease – aortic, mitral and tricuspid.
Aaron Ranasinghe, EACTS Academy Director, said, “There was growing demand from EACTS members to take part in face-to-face courses again, so it is fantastic to welcome delegates back to Windsor. The course was sold out which really demonstrates the value and importance of holding in-person training. “We are also mindful of the need to keep the EACTS Academy open to every member which is why we will continue to offer Academy courses in different formats.”
