EXHIBITOR/SPONSOR REGISTRATION

Dear Corporate Partner,

It is our pleasure to invite you to join our upcoming certified continuing education conference, Houston Methodist CMR Workshop, which will take place in-person on Monday, September 12, 2022 – Friday, September 16, 2022 in Houston, Texas.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a unique imaging modality that is used in diagnosing – and subsequently managing – cardiovascular diseases in patients. The CMR Workshop will cover and provide “hands on” training opportunities on the practical applications of cardiac MRI, including basic MRI principles, cardiac anatomy, late gadolinium enhancement, stress imaging, vascular imaging, case interpretations and troubleshooting image acquisitions.

This continuing educational workshop is designed for cardiologists, radiologists, and technologists interested in gaining exposure to CMR. Attendees can expect to review up to fifty (50) clinical CMR cases during the workshop.

This program emphasizes the development of practical skills and knowledge. Therefore, it is limited to a small group of attendees in order to provide a more intimate and personalized experience to better facilitate lectures and hands-on experiences. This will provide you with an opportunity to meet with all attendees one-on one and on a more personal level to showcase your company’s products.

Supporting Houston Methodist CMR Workshop is a unique prospect to highlight your brand with an engaged and interested target audience. I encourage you to take full advantage of this excellent opportunity to network with your target market.

Sincerely,

Office of Continuing Medical Education
