Gasul Club of Pediatric Cardiology

The Hektoen Institute collaborates with the Gasul Club to sponsor academic conferences in which pediatric cardiologists meet to discuss cases and present topics designed to advance the education, research, and medical practice.  In these informal meetings doctors working in this rapidly developing field discuss complicated cases encountered in their practices, seeking advice from their colleagues, and debating ideas in management and research. The meetings are held four times a year under the chairmanship of Dr. Maria Serratto, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Illinois and member of the board and executive committee of Hektoen.
