CCS WORKSHOP SUBMISSION TYPES

General Workshop

A general workshop is a structured learning sessions bringing cardiovascular specialists together to learn new skills, techniques, or knowledge in a specific subject or topic. Workshops are required to be interactive and hands-on, providing participants with practical experience and opportunities to apply what they have learned.

Typically, an educational workshop involves a chair who leads the session, providing instruction, guidance, and support to the participants, as well as subject matter expert presenters who can provide a deeper understanding and mastery of a particular skill or subject, allowing participants to apply this knowledge in their practice. CCS Affiliates and educational partners can endorce a workshop, but this is not the same as an Affiliate Spotlight session. They are are 45 minutes in length and can be submitted by any CCS and a CCCN member.

Submissions can be from a wide range of medical education topics, with interactive and innovative approaches to learning.
