Welcome to a new interview series brought to you by the Association of Black Cardiologists’ Cardiovascular Disease in Women and Children Committee. Drop in for some hot cocoa – and little whip cream or marshmallows, if you prefer – and some thought-provoking and engaging conversations between clinicians, researchers, academicians and experts in related fields about anything from diverse career choices to innovations in medicine that impact vulnerable populations to unfiltered perspectives about the current state of healthcare.

This first Q&A will focus on the role artificial intelligence (i.e. machine learning) can play in the care of patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy and explore pathways for cardiologists interested in specializing in machine learning as part of their career.
