Educational Lecture Programs

Educational Lecture Programs are conducted in cities throughout the U.S. to address various educational needs. These programs allow the HCPs to engage in lively discussion and debate with other HCP experts through an informal setting close to home. The HCP faculty provides lectures and/or case reviews on current clinical issues relating to the safe and effective use of Boston Scientific’s products.
