Clinical Cardiovascular Research Conference

The Clinical Cardiovascular Research Conference takes place at noon on the third and fourth Friday of every month during the academic year. Due to COVID-19, this conference will be presented via Zoom until further notice.

This conference is presented in conjunction with the Emory Program in Cardiovascular Outcomes Research and Epidemiology (EPICORE) and Multidisciplinary Research Training to Reduce Inequalities in Cardiovascular Health (METRIC) in the Rollins School of Public Health.
