38th Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions by ISHLT

38th Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions is organized by International Society for Heart And Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) and will be held during Apr 10 - 14, 2018 at Acropolis Congress Center, Nice, Provence Alpes Cote, France.

The target audience for this medical event is physicians, surgeons, scientists, pharmacists, nurses, transplant coordinators and other allied health and social science professionals engaged in the management and treatment of heart and lung transplant recipients, the management and treatment of patients with end-stage heart or lung disease, basic science or clinical research related to these fields, or other specialties which cause them to become involved in the treatment of transplant recipients or patients with endstage heart or lung disease. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 29 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
