Join us in New Orleans for the ABC/NMA Joint Symposium – Beyond Guidelines: Emerging Areas in Cardiology.

The ABC welcomes residents and medical students who are interested in cardiology fellowship to join us for this discussion.

This is Our Lane – Too: Joint Statement on the Maternal Health Crisis from the Association of Black Cardiologists, American College of Cardiology, and American Heart Association.

The ABC was joined by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to emphasize the urgent action “needed to combat the maternal morbidity and mortality crisis in America” and the vital role that cardiologists have to play.”

Three one-year fellowships will be awarded to support research in adult cardiology. One of the awards will be given to a person of color and will be awarded by the Association of Black Cardiologists. Preference is given to individuals who have had no more than two years of prior full-time experience either in clinical or basic research. Recipients will be expected to pursue a full-time project in clinical research during their year of supported training.

Deadline: June 12, 2023 at 11:59PM ET

As part of its commitment to diversity in the workforce, the Association of Black Cardiologists, Inc. (ABC), seeks to provide insight into cardiovascular (CV) training programs in the US. The Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Scorecard (DIBS), launched in November, 2020, is designed to understand and rank the diversity in CV academic training programs. This article updates the next phase of the initiative.

Leading Black Cardiologists and medical professionals share their professional and personal experience with Black Maternal mortality and morbidity – the health of women during preconception, pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum – as well as the impact it has on families.

Comprised of investigators from a variety of therapeutic areas, the ABC CRN was developed to serve as a central “wheel hub” to identify and vet clinical trial opportunities, match investigators to trials of interest, and provide some of the infrastructure support that physicians say would be beneficial.
