At Boston Scientific, we believe that diversity is critical to advancing science and that diverse medical teams add value to patient communities by improving communication, experiences and outcomes.
Developed in partnership with experts in the peripheral space, this programme will support women physicians in the early stages of their interventional careers, imparting information and techniques that will optimise the clinical application of our technology and skills that will improve communication with patients and peers about the diseases we treat and the therapy options available.
The programme has been designed to ensure high levels of interactivity and mentoring, and excellent opportunities for building peer-to-peer relationships at face-to-face events.
