2020 ISHLT Academy Master Class for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals in Heart and Lung Transplantation and Mechanical Circulatory Support
21 April, 2020 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
ISHLT2020 Anniversary Meeting and Academies Canceled
It is with heavy hearts that the leaders of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation have made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel the 2020 ISHLT Annual Meeting, which was to take place April 22-25 in Montreal.
Our top priority is the health and safety of our attendees, staff, partners and our communities, and our responsibility to protect the integrity of healthcare delivery systems and patients.
We thank you and the entire ISHLT community for understanding the extreme difficulty of this decision and for your commitment to the success of this event – from the thousands of attendees to the presenters, exhibitors and sponsors who share their time, expertise, collaboration and leadership.
