It is our pleasure to announce the 3rd edition of the Cardiac Diagnostic Interventional Symposium (CDIS) that will take place in Toronto on June 8 & 9, 2020 at the Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning, located at 686 Bay Street, a short walk from The Hospital for Sick Children.
The aim of the Symposium is to bring together cardiac specialist professionals working with structural and congenital heart patients. This engaging educational event will provide participants an opportunity for networking and learning.
