AATS 100th Annual Meeting: A Virtual Learning Experience

The AATS 100th Annual Meeting will take place on a virtual platform May 22-23, 2020, and provide cardiothoracic surgery professionals around the world with complimentary access to some of the most exciting research, education, and science in the field. This virtual program allows AATS the opportunity to provide education to many healthcare professionals both in a live and on demand format. To maximize the value of the information, concurrent educational tracks will focus on aspects of Adult Cardiac, General Thoracic, and Congenital specialties and expert speakers will communicate scientific results and challenges facing medical professionals in the state of current patient care. Abstracts of the highest quality were selected to increase physician’s medical knowledge about specific topics and then transfer that knowledge into practice to improve standard of care and outcomes for the surgical patient. All presentations will be streamed live May 22-23, 2020. These sessions will be interactive, with questions, comments, and input from faculty and presenters through a live chat box. This dialogue will facilitate learning and sharing expertise and science with other cardiothoracic surgery professionals.
