Call for Proposals to Be a Pilot Site for CSIA Supported Programs

JTCVS just published a call for proposals of joining the Cardiac Surgery Intersociety Alliance (CSIA) as pilot sites. CSIA is jointly overseen by the AATS, EACTS, STS, the Asian Society for Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, and the World Heart Federation. The mission of CSIA is to evaluate, endorse, and work with potential sites in low-income countries to increase access to sustainable heart surgery, with particular emphasis on rheumatic heart disease.
