ADDISON, Texas, Aug. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — ISHLT has announced the winners of the new ISHLT Professional Community Awards for Excellence. These awards recognize professional excellence in each of the Professional Communities represented within ISHLT, support the component groups that enable ISHLT’s interdisciplinary approach, and elevate and empower all Professional Communities equally.
Society recognizes ISHLT2021 abstracts to elevate professional specialties and encourage a multidisciplinary ISHLT
To accommodate the virtual nature of the ISHLT’s 2021 Annual Meeting, which drew more than 3,000 attendees, the Society developed a virtual judging protocol that expanded the number of judges who could participate and increased the total amount of time they could spend evaluating each presentation.
These winners were drawn from eligible abstracts accepted for presentation at the 41st Annual ISHLT Meeting & Scientific Sessions. The full abstracts were published in a special supplement to the Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation‘s April 2021 issue. These award winners will also be featured in ISHLTv webinars this October.
