Summer in Seattle

Summer in Seattle (SIS) focuses on the most pertinent and controversial issues in the field of cardiology, vascular, and neurovascular therapeutics. Utilizing small group formats to maximize interaction between faculty and attendees, SIS 2008 will feature concurrent four-hour educational sessions. These sessions will include didactic lectures, hands-on Cadaveric training and live case presentations transmitted simultaneously from several catheterization laboratories. All of these activities will take place at the state-of-the-art Seattle Science Foundation.
