There are several reasons to join our Society!
Come and see what is waiting for you!
1) You will get a superb inside view in clinical and basic research of paediatric cardiology and in its affiliated fields during the annual meetings of the AEPC!
2) Registration rates for our Annual Meeting and the highly appreciated training courses preceding the meeting is significantly reduced for members and even more so for junior members!
3) You will meet friends, make friends and share experiences in private discussions you never will be able to have otherwise! You will learn a lot of things that are never exposed or expressed, however, very useful to know for your daily work.
4) You will be able to participate in specially arranged training courses, as for example courses in morphology, echocardiography, electrophysiology and catheter interventions. Top teachers in the field will spend their time to support you to improve your knowedge and skills... for very reasonable registration fees and fair hotel price.
5) AEPC offers free online journal subscription to ‘Cardiology in the Young’ (CitY) as part of the annual membership fee.
6) The AEPC Education Committee has established a European examination and a European certification in the specialty and the subspecialties of paediatric cardiology. Although there is so far no legal use of this certification, the certification is increasingly appreciated as a standard of education in the professional field.
7) As an AEPC member, you can become actively involved in the work of our association through our Working Groups and Committees.
8) Finally, the officers of our Association care and constantly invest their time for your future. They try to obtain harmonization of training in paediatric cardiology and recognition of the specialty in Europe.
