2012 Pediatric Cardiology Conference

2012 International Symposium on Pediatric Cardiology

April 10 to 13, 2012
Rimrock Resort Hotel, Banff, Alberta

The Stollery Children's Hospital at the University of Alberta and the Sick Kids Hospital at the University of Toronto, the two largest fetal echo referral and postnatal pediatric cardiothoracic surgical centers in Canada, are proud to announce their partnership for the Fetal, Perinatal, and Neonatal Cardiology: State of the Art and New Frontiers Symposium, April 10-13, 2012 at The Rimrock Resort Hotel in Banff, Alberta.

This symposium promises to bring together experts in the field of fetal, perinatal and neonatal cardiology. The interactive program includes advanced scientific sessions that explore current practices and future directions in the diagnosis and management of fetal and neonatal Congenital Heart Disease. The symposium aims to foster research that will specifically advance fetal intervention, perinatal management of the mother and care of the newborn and neonate. In addition, interactive hands-on sessions will provide participants with basic screening knowledge and useful clinical skills.
