ARIZONA HEART INSTITUTE
Education For Healthcare Professionals
Recognizing that the future of healthcare lies in the hands of well-educated professionals, the Arizona Heart Institute has long attached significant importance to educating the physicians, nurses, and allied healthcare personnel of tomorrow and keeping today's professionals abreast of the very latest innovations in cardiovascular care. Toward that end, the Arizona Heart Institute sponsors the following educational programs:
Edward B. Diethrich Vascular Surgical Society International Traveling Fellowship
The Edward B. Diethrich Vascular Surgical Society (EBDVSS) International Traveling Fellowship was established to broaden the educational experience of a cardiac or vascular surgical resident interested in endovascular surgery during their final year of training by providing an opportunity for travel to one or more established Centers of Excellence in the applicant’s field of interest. One award will be granted to a North American resident to support research and/or enhancement of endovascular skills at a host institution abroad in hopes of stimulating academic inspiration, promoting international exchange and fostering fraternal fellowship. A second award will be granted to an International (non-North American) resident for travel to a North American Center of Excellence.
