24th – 26th of April 2016
Nowgen, Manchester, UK
This course aims at delivering up-to-date knowledge on cardiogenetic to cardiologists, genetic counselors, clinical and molecular geneticists in training or certified.
It creates the best opportunity for interaction and discussion with experts from all over Europe. The faculty combines experts from many fields of cardiogenetics known for their didactic skills. Participants are encouraged to present a clinical or genetic case in a Poster format for on-site discussion. Prizes will be awarded for best presentations.
