WORKSHOPS

 

* Workshops are taught in the form of four module sessions, each session lasts two hours.

** There are 13 different workshops. You will be able to choose up to 4 out of small group workshops!

*** Certificates of attendance will be send out by email after the conference!

 

Mitral valve meeting is a special event in 2 parts – workshops and regular meeting.

We designed hands-on workshops to fill the gap of knowledge.

We prepared more than 10 Workshops for small classes of participants.

We want to teach you the details which are important to run procedures safely and effectively.

Our experts offer modern teaching methods to small group classes guaranteeing an improvement at all levels and a direct interaction.
