CSATVB Preliminary Program & Registration

CSATVB Annual Meeting, Edmonton, AB, October 24-27, 2009

The annual CSATVB meeting to be held in association with the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress at the Shaw Convention Centre, Edmonton (see bleow for link to the website), will keep to a similar format to those held in Quebec City and Toronto in recent years. The Trainee’s Workshop and the Annual Dinner will both be held in the Union Bank Inn on Sunday, October 25. The scientific meeting will take place on Monday, Oct 26 and Tuesday, Oct 27. The annual general meeting (AGM) will be held immediately after the conclusion of the scientific meeting at 4:30pm, Tuesday Oct 27. One important agenda item at this year’s AGM will be the approval of the revised by-laws which were circulated by e-mail to all members in June, 2009. This year, CME credits will be given for clinicians who register for all CSATVB symposia and oral sessions.
