THE FOUNDATION SPONSORS VARIOUS EVENTS TO TEACH NEW TECHNIQUES IN THE FIELD OF INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY, WITH THE THE LONG TERM GOAL TO TRAIN DOCTORS IN NEW DEVICES, TECHNIQUES, AND TREATMENTS FOR THE HEART. FORMERLY, THEIR MAIN EVENT HAS BEEN A CONFERENCE, NAMED ALL THAT JAZZ. AFTER 20 CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF BEING ONE OF THE PREMIER MEDICAL EDUCATION EVENTS IN THE NATION DEALING WITH STROKE AND VASCULAR DISEASE, THIS EVENT HAS NOW BEEN RETIRED. HOWEVER, THE BOARD WILL CONTINUE TO SEARCH FOR EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND WILL RESUME EDUCATIONAL MEETING/EVENTS WHEN SUCH A NEED IS IDENTIFIED. THIS MAY BE LIVE, WEB-BASED, OR OTHER FORMAT, AS TECHNOLOGY CONTINUES TO CHANGE THE FACE OF MEDICAL EDUCATION. EDUCATION OF THE PUBLIC WILL FOLLOW AS AN ADDITION TO EDUCATION OF MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, AS IT HAS IN THE PAST WITH THE NUMEROUS PUBLIC FORUMS THAT HAVE BEEN HELD AT NO COST TO THE PUBLIC.
