2026 CAIC-ACCI Fellows' Course
September 25, 26 & 27
Coming together to accelerate skill acquisition
The 2026 CAIC-ACCI Fellows Course brings interventional cardiology fellows together in Toronto from September 25–27 at the Doubletree by Hilton for an intensive, hands-on training experience. Designed to accelerate skill acquisition, the course pairs expert faculty with small teaching-to-student ratios across a wide range of simulation-based workshops, including wires, catheters, and vascular closure devices; mechanical circulatory support and bifurcation simulation; OCT, calcium modification, CTO techniques, IVUS, and ultrasound-guided large bore access; and structural interventions such as TAVI, LAAC, transseptal puncture, and MitraClip. Complementing the workshops are focused seminars, case discussions, and an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) that reinforce practical decision-making at the bedside. Past participants consistently describe the course as an exceptional educational experience, citing the direct access to leading faculty and the depth of device-specific, hands-on practice. To help ensure fellows across Canada can take part, CAIC-ACCI will provide an expense stipend to support participation.
