POSTPONED: TransCatheter Therapies 2020: Improving Patient Care across the Yale New Haven Health System - Understanding How and When to Refer Patients

We have been monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and the rapidly changing situation. As our top priority is to educate and promote health, we have made the decision to postpone the TransCatheter Therapies 2020 CME Dinner Meeting.
