"An amazing learning experience. It was a pleasure to acquire some skills with such dedicated and enthusiastic experts. Thank you all for the event! I genuinely recommend the school."
"A great opportunity to put theory into practice, sharing knowledge, doubts and ideas with worldwide colleagues."
"The most impressive was the friendly relationship of instructor and participant."
"The school is the place for those who want to learn more skills or practice their dexterity in manoeuvres that for sure every cardiologist stumbles on in their medical practice. This school focuses on doing things, but medical knowledge is not neglected as there are some very accurate simulations where fast thinking and acting is essential in saving the patient. Only in this stressful situation you realise what you have to improve and that is a very important lesson to take back home."
