Spotlight on Internal Medicine Grand Rounds
Join us as Dr. Michael Landzberg, an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Boston Adult Congenital Heart and Pulmonary Hypertension Group, presents Internal Medicine Grand Rounds on Friday, May 1, at 8 a.m. in D1.502.
Dr. Landzberg is a nationally recognized leader in adult congenital heart disease who has spent more than three decades shaping care for patients once thought unlikely to reach adulthood. He played a central role in establishing the Boston Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) and Pulmonary Hypertension Program as a joint venture between Boston Children’s Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital and led the program for more than 20 years as it grew into one of the busiest ACHD programs in the world. Over the course of his career, he has trained dozens of cardiologists who now direct ACHD programs across the U.S. and internationally.
