Our students were able to attend the #HSS2026 - Houston Shock Symposium this past week. The meeting focuses on a variety of cardiogenic shock topics. Physicians from the Texas Medical Center & the U.S. attend and present. Vendors from all the major companies are in attendance as well. A great opportunity for our students to learn and connect.

Structural Heart curriculum is intertwined with the EP portion of the program. Our students get to attend the valve conference at Memorial Hermann Health System in the Texas Medical Center and listen to physicians and other Allied Health Professionals with UTHealth Interventional and Structural Heart Program discuss patient treatment options. They also learn from our SH instructor, Courtney McAlister, DNP in our training center.
