Structural Heart curriculum is intertwined with the EP portion of the program. Our students get to attend the valve conference at Memorial Hermann Health System in the Texas Medical Center and listen to physicians and other Allied Health Professionals with UTHealth Interventional and Structural Heart Program discuss patient treatment options. They also learn from our SH instructor, Courtney McAlister, DNP in our training center.
