SWISH Fellows Summit • Friday, December 4, 2026

---

The inaugural SWISH Fellows Summit on December 4th aims to strengthen Fellows-In-Training’s foundational knowledge and professional development. It begins with the Fellows Case Competition, featuring the top 10 cases selected by the Program Committee from all submissions. These cases highlight complex procedures, complication management, or innovative techniques in structural heart intervention. Each presentation is followed by a panel discussion, and the overall winner is announced at the end. Attendees then enhance their technical and procedural skills through small-group simulator, wet lab, and model training, offering hands-on practice. 

The workshops’ multimodal stations provide an immersive experience to improve imaging and procedural expertise. Participants' training is guided by SWISH faculty and supported by clinical specialists from partner companies. These sessions cover device deployment, advanced imaging, and best practices, using straightforward, case-based, problem-solving, and mentor-guided approaches in small groups. Topics include TAVR, Cardiogenic Shock, TEER, LAAO, and Advanced Imaging for Structural Heart Disease Interventions. 

Fellows Attendance Scholarships  • Limited to 50 Fellows 

Fellows can apply for full-attendance scholarships that cover registration for the Summit on Friday, December 4th, and the SWISH Main Conference on Saturday, December 5th. Scholarships are limited to 25 Fellows. Fellows who do not receive a scholarship will be responsible for their own travel and lodging. 

Scholarships covering registration, hotel accommodations, and travel expense reimbursement for the SWISH Fellows Summit and SWISH Main Conference are available to Fellows currently enrolled in or entering a Fellowship Program (Interventional Cardiology, Advanced Interventional Program (CHIP), structural, endovascular, research), the Cardiovascular/General Cardiology Program, or the Cardiac Surgery Program. Applications are limited to 50 Fellows serving their Fellowship in North America. 

Scholarship recipients are encouraged to submit a unique case to the Case Competition that focuses on a complex procedure, complication management, or an advanced or novel technique in structural heart intervention. 

The Program Committee will judge the submissions, and the authors of the 10 best cases will present their work at the Case Competition Session. The overall winner will receive a $1,000 honorarium and a commemorative plaque, and each runner-up will receive a $500 honorarium.
