Join Now

Through the ABC, I have developed significant mentoring relationships with many prominent cardiologists throughout the nation who have helped to broaden my research focus and strengthen my clinical endeavors.

ABC is on the forefront of health equity. Even though I am not a black cardiologist, I feel that the mission and values of the organization are very aligned with my own and the organization is very inclusive.

I was successful in winning the Dr. Jay Brown Best Abstract award. This helped to foster collaborations and mentorship which have been invaluable for a junior attending.

The ABC has helped me to build and maintain professional relationships across numerous specialties in different institutions.

One of the things I like best about ABC is that they actively promote research and collaboration among its members and with other groups/institutions.
