Thank you for your interest in our Annual UC San Diego Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography Review Course. Regrettably, due to the expected continuation of the current public health climate surrounding Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), our top priority is the well-being of our colleges, staff and event attendees, and after much consideration, we have made the decision to cancel our 2021 TEE Review Course.

We look forward to bringing you the 9th Annual UC San Diego Perioperative Transesophageal back, in January 15-17, 2022 and future editions.

Please contact us if you have any question or if you want to be part of our mailing list for 2022, 9th Annual UC San Diego Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography Review Course.
