Mechanical Circulatory Support Workshop
The Mechanical Circulatory Support Workshop is conducted biannually to introduce fellows and faculty about various modalities of advanced heart failure devices such as intra-aortic balloon pump, Impella, tandem heart, ventricular assist devices and extracorporeal life support (ECMO).
Critical Care Fellowship Workshops
A series of workshops are held across the Texas Medical Center throughout the year for fellows to acquire and practice skills needed during fellowship. These highly popular workshops consist of didactics interspersed with hands-on skills sessions using simulation.
