Clinical Meetings Calendar 2002

FEATURED MEETING: Because a technician knows how, but a technologist knows why. The Mid South Association of Cardiovascular Professionals (MSACP) invites you to attend a seminar especially designed for the Cath Lab Professional. The MSACP is a not-for-profit, educational organization and is not associated with any one hospital. We are a body of technologists, old and new, in the field of invasive cardiology. Our objective is to show technologists in the cardiac cath lab that they are not alone; that we are all in support of each other. We believe that there is a future in the cardiac cath lab, and the future comes with knowledge, experience, and education. April 6th, 2002.
